Johanna Richardson
“My first grade teacher was my strongest role model and really guided me toward my early childhood career. I cherished the interactions and loving moments I shared with the children over my 20 plus years as a teacher. As the director I now have the chance to share those moments with the whole family. I deeply value every teacher in our program and empathize with the demands of an early child hood educator. My goal is to care for all; the children, the families and the teachers for they each play a vital part in what makes our school such and incredible place to love, learn and grow.”


Bree Fallon
“An early childhood educator was not just a career choice for me, it’s who I am on the deepest level. As a teacher for over 20 years I was given the opportunity to play a role in the most integral years of so many children’s lives. In my current position I now have the chance to reach all the children and families in our school. I am proud of every milestone I can help them reach, every comfort I know I can provide and every smile that I can bring to a child’s face. My work is my passion.”
Lead Teachers


Ms. Caley
“I have always wanted to be a teacher! My mom is a teacher and growing up I watched the impact she had on her students. Even years after they left her class, students would come back and tell her how much she had effected their lives. Being a part of the foundations of a child’s learning and making a lasting impact on their lives is so important to me.”


Ms. Buki
“I started working at schools helping out from about the age of 13 and found myself returning there whenever I got a chance. I developed my love for teaching as I watched how the children’s curiosity would cause their eyes to light up. My desire is to help children enjoy learning and to grow to their full potential. I got into Christian education to help lead young minds in the right path towards Christ.”
Assistant Teachers


Ms. Gabby
“I have loved kids ever since my brother was born and I would help my mom take care of him. Every year he grew, my love for kids grew as well and I knew that’s what I wanted to do when I grew up. Watching them grow makes me happy and helping them learn brings joy to my heart. They help me grow to be a better me.”











Ms. Oksana
“Ever since I was a child, I would lay out my stuffed animals on my bed and begin to teach them. I believe as teachers we have the privilege and the honor to make an impact. Children are like sponges- what we teach them is what they will give back. They are the future that will make an impact and a difference. Teaching is my calling and I am beyond grateful to fulfill it at CLA.”


Ms. Nancy
“When I was a little girl, I wanted to grow up and become a teacher. God took me in different directions and I thought it was not meant to be. Then God lead me to CLA, and He has blessed my heart! I know that I am here because this was His plan for me! I am now a teacher! My God, in His perfect timing, fulfilled my heart’s desire!”
