About Kristen

With over 13 years of professional childcare experience, I am passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive from ages 6 weeks to 10 years. I currently serve as a GS-7 Senior Educational Technician for the United States Air Force, where I work directly with children and families while implementing developmentally appropriate curriculum and learning experiences. I have completed extensive training through both the Air Force and Purdue University in child development, curriculum implementation, inclusion practices, child abuse prevention, food safety, health and wellness, and positive guidance techniques. I am CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults. As both a childcare professional and a parent, I understand the importance of trust, communication, and dependable care. I strive to provide families with peace of mind while giving children a positive, enriching experience every day.
