About Crista

Experience: 8 yrs

I have several years of experience as a lead preschool teacher, working with children across a wide range of age groups and developmental stages. My background includes designing and implementing age-appropriate lesson plans that foster cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth, while maintaining a nurturing and structured classroom environment. I have extensive experience supporting children with diverse learning needs, including those requiring special education services, and I adapt curriculum and teaching strategies to meet individual goals. I am skilled at collaborating with families, colleagues, and specialists to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive. My work emphasizes positive guidance, hands-on learning, and creating inclusive environments where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore. I bring creativity, patience, and strong organizational skills to every role, helping children build confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
