Faith Ministry Stories

Meet the New Teachers at LADC!

Posted by Dennis Sanders on

The community of Faith welcomes two new teachers to Lake Area Discovery Center here at Faith.  Let's learn a little bit more about Bev and Lily!

 

Ms. Bev

 

This is my first-year teaching at Faith Lutheran LADC. I am excited and looking forward to the opportunity of working with the children and the families of LADC. Proud Mother of three adult children and two grandchildren. I love kids, it fills my heart with joy to help them learn and grow.

 

While my children were growing up, I was a licensed daycare provider in my home for 9 years. Returning to college I achieved an Associate’s Degree in Business Management specializing in Accounting from Rasmussen. After working in the business field for years I found that my passion is working with children.

 

I enjoy the outdoors in summer as much as possible which includes golfing, camping, fishing, four-wheeling, and biking. In the winter I like to read, watch movies and spend time with my family. I feel very fortunate to work alongside such dedicated and warm-hearted teachers.

 

Ms. Lily

I feel so blessed to have joined the Faith Lutheran Lake Area Discovery Center as a Site Director and Kinderstart Teacher in June 2021. Words can't express enough how grateful I am to be surrounded by such a great group of teachers and the church admin team!
 
A little bit about my education and work background. I began working with children during high school as a VBS summer camp counselor/ babysitter and fell in love with the job. From then on, I dedicated my time to working towards several college degrees. I have a bachelor's degree in Education Studies, a master's degree in Education Leadership Administration, three classes shy from completing my MBA, and a Human Resource Management certificate. I spent the past 8 years teaching in Pre-K through 3rd grade at a private school in Minnetonka. After gaining experience as a teacher, I took a role as Assistant Director for KinderCare, then moved on to New Horizons Academy as a preschool teacher where I have spent my time during the 2020-2021 school year. 
 
On a personal note, my husband Justin and I live in Stillwater with our three boys: Ashton (10th grade), Isaac (8th grade), and Drew (6th grade). When I am not in “mommy mode,” I enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places, and being crafty.
