Additional Information

In addition to working in the Lutheran school system, I homeschooled my 3 children because there was not a Christian alternative to the public school where we lived. I am very committed to Christian education and will support the preschool and parents in the grow of students both academically and in their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
