Kristi joined our teaching team in October 2012. She is a level 10 on the Registry and holds a ECE lead teacher certification as well as a Preschool Credential. She began working in childcare at Playhaven in 1986. She then worked for five years at an in-home group center called It’s a Small World where, after a couple of years, she became the Program Director. Prior to joining our team, she spent the last eighteen years as a Program Director at School’s Out Before & After School Program.
Kristi & her husband Jon have four “boys”, one married with three sons, one engaged with one daughter, one living at home, and one living in NC with his girlfriend. Three of the boys all live within 5 minutes or less from them, so they have many fun-filled moments together. Jon and Kristi also share LOTS of quality time together carpooling from Waterloo every workday. Besides her obvious LOVE of children, she enjoys spending her days being a crafty queen (stamping, sewing, quilting, painting) and spending quality time with her family.
