Bradley Wilkes
Bradley has several years of professional child care experience, and over ten years of volunteer experience before that. He got his start working at a Little Sprouts center, where he started out as a preschool and infant assistant teacher, and ended up as a toddler assistant teacher. He moved on from that after about one year to work one on one with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. There he learned how to replace children’s developmentally interfering behavior with developmentally appropriate behaviors, and how to make sure the kids were having as much fun as he was. Besides kids, he loves reading, juggling, and music, which he incorporates into all parts of his teaching.
