Kathy Haskin has joined Peacock Family Services as its new executive director.

Haskin’s diverse professional background in education includes, supervising educational facilities, leading teams of teachers, and designing multidisciplinary curricula.

Those who know her from her work at the Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, formally known as Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council, her board membership at the Bainbridge Island Land Trust, or her consulting work on educational programs and fundraising events for several of the Island’s nonprofits, know that she is a committed member of the community. Her experience coordinating the Jackson Campus of the Teton Science Schools and her extensive work in curriculum design exemplify her dedication to education.

“As a builder of partnerships, Kathy is an outstanding person to lead the next phase of Peacock’s growth as an organization and we couldn’t be more excited,” said Katy Mathias, board president for Peacock Family Services.

Peacock, a nonprofit, was founded in 2009 by a group of active family services professionals including pediatricians, family counselors, midwives, parents and grandparents, and nonprofit leaders who envisioned a center where family support resources and attachment-promoting childcare would combine to provide a much needed family resource hub for the greater Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap community.

“With our childcare center, after-school and summer programs in nature, along with family support and services, Peacock is indeed a community of care under one roof,” Haskin said.

Peacock currently provides content rich early childhood education and flexible childcare options for children ages 1 through 5 at its Early Childhood Development Center on Madison Avenue.

The nonprofit announced expansion plans for Peacock’s family programs and services throughout the coming months as the organization explores new ways to support the families in the community.
