Crystal is moving to Teton Valley from Idaho Falls and bringing her two sons, Niko and Leo, into the preschool program with her. Crystal is an experienced educator, having spent many years in early childhood education across the country and around the world. She is grounded in the belief that childhood should be intentional, connected, and rooted in real experiences.

She is excited to have found a program that aligns so closely with her values as a teacher and a parent.
