Who's behind the circle
Katie Strain M.A., CCC-SLP
Hi, I'm Katie, a speech-language pathologist. I started Kinlee Circle because parents deserve a place of their own. A six-week parent coaching series where you learn practical ways to bring more communication into everyday play, guided by a licensed SLP, and supported by other parents doing the same. This isn't therapy for your child. It's coaching and connection for you.

Our approach
The ordinary moments, breakfast, a walk, bath time, are where communication quietly takes root, and these early years are a wonderful window for it.
Kinlee Circle is about making the most of them together: one simple idea each week, an easy and unhurried morning, all led by Katie, a licensed speech-language pathologist, in a cozy group of eight families.

Someone who really knows early communication, right there when you need her.
Kept small and cozy
Just eight families, so it always feels personal.
Built on your everyday moments
No extra to-dos, just easy ideas for the days you're already living.
For you, the parent
Support and community for you, not a class for your child.
