MEET THE TEAM
Our team is made up of nurturers as well as educators. We encourage learning through exploration and understand the balance between what it is that a child needs to feel safe and loved as well as what they require to reach their potential. Your child’s teacher is your partner. At Christ Lutheran Early Education Center, families and teachers work together – celebrating successes, navigating challenges, and communicating regularly about individual student achievements and goals. It is our desire to strengthen not only the student but each family that we serve!
