Our Founders Story

Catherine Gibson

Catherine “Cathy” Gibson has always believed that love is a language of its own, and storytelling is how we speak it. A celebrated children’s book author and passionate advocate for inclusive education, Cathy has spent her life helping children feel seen and understood. Fascinated by American Sign Language, she studied at The American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, Connecticut, where she discovered the powerful bridge between language, movement, and emotion.

She later began teaching preschool dance using sign language and body movement, creating a space where every child, regardless of ability, could express themselves and shine. Her journey has been guided by compassion, creativity, and an unshakable belief that differences are not barriers they’re gifts that make us beautiful.

Cathy’s energy and storytelling light up every room she enters. Whether she’s signing along to a story, leading a dance circle, or connecting with families, she reminds us that when we teach children to love who they are, we change the world one heart at a time.

Invite For Children With Love into your school or community and experience the magic of storytelling, movement, and sign language in action. Together, we can help children build confidence, celebrate differences, and feel truly loved.

At For Children With Love Foundation, we help children discover their voices through the joy of storytelling, dance, and American Sign Language (ASL). Our programs open hearts and minds, teaching children to embrace their differences, express themselves freely, and connect with others through kindness and creativity.

We believe that every child, regardless of ability or background, deserves to feel valued and celebrated. Through interactive performances and expressive arts, we turn learning into laughter, connection, and confidence.
