Greetings!
 
I'm Ruth Kewitsch, an alumni parent as well as current and former St. David's Center employee. My children, Jack and Ellie, attended the Early Childhood Education program while I was on staff in the late '90s. The teachers were so great with them - getting to know them as individuals and really tuning in to each child's needs. Their enthusiasm, knowledge and creativity sparked my children's imaginations and love for exploring the world. Plus, I learned a lot by watching them interact with my children - giving me tools and ideas that made me a better parent.

I left the organization when I had my third child, Rob, and had the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom, which I loved. Now that my children are all in school, I'm thrilled to be back at St. David's Center as the individual giving manager.
 
Kewitsch familyI am so happy to once again be a part of St. David's Center! I look forward to meeting or getting re-acquainted with you through our alumni gatherings.
