 Kristy Gutierrez
Name is Kristy Gutierrez and I am one of the lead teachers in the Preschool Room.
In December of 2005 I graduated from MSU Mankato with a degree in Elementary Education and specializing in pre-primary age children. I just recently received my MN teaching license and plan to go back to school to get my Master’s in Elementary Education.
I have been working in the child care industry for eight years and have been with Lake Harriet since December of 2005.
Our main goals in the Preschool room are to promote Kindergarten readiness by providing weekly thematic units covering the areas of art, science, math, writing, music, large and small muscle development, and creative play.
Not only am I a teacher at LHC4kids, but my husband Mateo and I have a daughter in the infant room.
Mandy DePew
My name is Mandy DePew and am one of the lead teachers in the Preschool room.
I graduated from Arizona State University in December of 2004 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently working on the requirements to receive my Minnesota teaching license. I am looking forward to returning to school to earn my Master’s Degree in Curriculum Planning and Development.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is creating activities that make learning fun and that reaches the individual needs, abilities, and interests of each child.
“The important thing is no so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.” – John Lubbock
