KRISTINA VISNIESKY I am proud to be the Executive Assistant as well as the Assistant Curriculum Coordinator for Christine Santos LLC. Alongside my work on the business side, I am also the Lead Educator for ELA, Math and Science on the Elementary and Middle School level. I have a deep passion for helping others and making a positive impact in their lives. My major is in inclusive childhood education grades 1-6. Additionally, I hold a minor in English Language and Arts, as well as an additional certification in grades 7-12 English. I am currently pursing my master's in literacy. My journey in the field of education extends beyond my academic pursuits. I am fortunate to work at a preschool that provides vital support to children with disabilities. Witnessing their growth each day is truly awe-inspiring, and I have developed a profound love for working with these incredible kids. I also serve as a substitute teacher in high schools, while simultaneously conducting observations at nearby elementary and middle schools. The opportunity to interact with students of varying ages and backgrounds is both enjoyable and fulfilling. I have accumulated a wealth of experience with students, and I strongly believe that I am destined to be an educator. What initially ignited my interest in teaching was my involvement with the first tee program of western New York. This remarkable initiative centered around teaching young golf athletes valuable life skills. In addition to showing them the correct golfing techniques, I also instilled important values such as perseverance, respect, honesty, and confidence. Witnessing their enthusiasm for these life skills as well as their intellectual growth was immensely rewarding.

It is recommended that parents stay near by in case learners need any supervision. All experiments will be safe. Detailed supply lists will be provided in the classroom each week with plenty of time for parents to review and decide if the supplies are allergy safe for their children. If parents with children who have allergies would like to check the ingredients before they enroll, message the teacher and you will get a prompt response.
