TEACHERS:
Kristina Rinard (Owner)
I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years and a vice principal for 5 (I promise I won't give you my principal look). Since then, I get to share my love for education with preservice teachers as an adjunct professor at the university level. Teaching Certificates include Elementary Education, Cross-Categorical Special Education, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Google Certified Level 1. My degrees include a Bachelors in Elementary Education/Special Education from Northwest Missouri State, a Masters in Teaching from Webster University, and a Specialist Degree in School Administration from Northwest Missouri State.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
We believe that students learn through personal action. Though we frequently use standards to guide instruction, we work to make our classrooms student-centered. Our classes often feature games and investigative activities.
Students of all backgrounds and learning abilities are welcome in our classrooms. If there is an accommodation you'd like us to make for your child, please reach out. Our classrooms are safe spaces.
INFORMATION:
We'd be happy to set up a private section for homeschool pods or groups of students wanting to create a consistent experience together. Just shoot us a message and we will work something out!
