My Role at Discovery Zone

I am the K23 teacher and I have been working at Discovery Zone since January 2018.


My Background & Family

Hello, my name is Kristi. I am married to my amazing husband and best friend Tom and we have five children and four grandchildren together. I studied early childhood development at Chemeketa, as well as obtaining my SLPA degree. I have always worked with children in some form or another. I have worked in several child care centers, elementary schools, and even run a home daycare/preschool. I am so thankful to be working in a center where I am free to teach the love of Jesus to these kids as I grew up in a loving Christian home and was blessed to know about and love Jesus from such a young age.


Why I Work With Kid

I have always had a passion for working with children. Even as a young girl I knew I wanted to be a mom and always loved being around children. I can remember playing orphanage with my dolls and always making sure each doll had enough attention so they didn’t feel neglected. I feel blessed to be working in Discovery Zone and teaching these kids about the love of Jesus.


My Favorite Bible Verse

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20
