My name is Christine Glick (Ms. Christi). I have been a preschool teacher now for 25 years, also during that time I became a mom to my special needs son. From a very young age I knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of children. Growing up my mother took foster children into our home, and I had a strong interest in helping them learn and overcome some of their difficulties. After high school I went to school for my Early Childhood Education. I love being a mom and I love working with children, helping each child, based on their individual needs, to learn and grow.
