Wendy Jones is the founder/owner of “I’m for Kids Team” (IFKT). Wendy has been involved in teaching/consulting for over 40 years. Her belief in young children leading a full life through early intervention and learning formed her philosophies of today. It was while working with the REACH Program, in Southern Alberta, that Wendy learned how valuable having a multidisciplinary team to provide assessment, consultation and programming was. She began to think of ways to improve upon the services they offered, and ideas for her own company started to form. It took many years of planning and preparation, as well as trials and tribulations, before Wendy would open the doors to “I’m for Kids Team” in July of 2005.
"I’m for Kids Team" has developed a reputation for excellence, caring and results because of its principles and the people that follow them. "I'm for Kids Team" is successful because of the team service delivery model that believes in the inclusion of all children into their community preschools, daycare settings, day-homes, and home-based options.
