Classes
Nancy Parker, Director
I attended college at Arizona State University where I studied Computer Science Engineering. Once I had my children, Brooklynn and Jackson, I became fascinated by how young children learn and grow. I went back to school to receive my Associate of Arts in Elementary Education. I love watching children learn about Jesus and grow in their faith. I have taught preschool for the past twelve years and I know without a doubt that this is my calling. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and cooking.
Kristen Pumo, Teacher
I grew up in New Jersey, went to Knox College in Illinois, and moved to Arizona over 20 years ago to attend ASU for my M.A. in History and Public History. I worked as a Museum Educator at the Arizona Museum of Natural History for 7 years and taught hands-on classes, workshops and educational summer camps. Since becoming a stay at home mom to our four boys, I have taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. In 2015, I started teaching preschool and I knew immediately that this was the ministry that I was called to do! I believe that preschool is a time to nurture and encourage creativity and curiosity, and to build a strong foundation for a life-long love of learning.
Kim Baumann, Teacher
I graduated from Biola University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I am originally from Southern California, but we have been in Arizona for over 5 years. I have two boys 6 and 4 years old. My whole life has been spent around kids from working in before and after school kid's programs to Christian nonprofits and schools. I fell in love with Surprise Christian when my oldest was a student and my love continued as I got to substitute teach. I love watching preschoolers come alive as they learn new things for the first time. I want to continue to foster their love for learning and school while showing them the love of Jesus. We love family time, trying new restaurants, being in the outdoors with our boys, swimming, hiking and traveling.
Paula Mendias, Teacher
I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. During my time as a stay-at-home mom to our three children, I worked as a substitute teacher for Preschool through 5th grade. I love working with preschoolers and watching them grow. I believe preschool is an excellent time for children to strengthen socially, emotionally and academically. I grew up in Glendale, Arizona and moved to Surprise over 10 years ago. I enjoy spending time with my family, doing outdoor activities, reading and fun crafts.
