Kristina Mitchell, Director
With seven years of experience in early childhood education under my belt and currently pursuing my masters in early childhood special education at UNC, I bring a deep-seated passion for nurturing young minds.
My mission is simple yet profound: to cultivate an environment where every child feels embraced and empowered. Whether it’s through art, dance, or dramatic play, I’m dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and enthusiasm for learning. Recognizing that early childhood is a pivotal time in a child’s educational journey, I strive to make the transition into school as smooth and joyful as possible.
Beyond my professional endeavors, my heart is fullest when I’m with my own family. My husband and I, partners in adventure for eleven wonderful years, share a love for the great outdoors and sports. Skiing, hiking, ice skating, and volleyball are just a few of the activities that bring us joy, often enjoyed amidst the breathtaking beauty of the mountains. Together, we embrace life’s adventures, cherishing every moment of laughter, exploration, and growth. Jaxson, our curious 9-year-old, and Kinsley, our spirited 6-year-old, infuse our lives with boundless energy and endless wonder, reminding us of the magic that surrounds us each day. Our family is completed by two beloved rescues: Annie, our spirited dog, and Boots, our resilient cat who overcame incredible odds after being found without hind feet on the street.
