MWF & T/Th AM Preschool

Teacher:  Christine Ruby

Personal Background:  I graduated from WSU and have a BA degree in Education.  During my college era, I worked at WSU Child Care Center.  I was a substitute for the public school system and have been at North Wall for the last thirteen years teaching.  I am also the Assistant Director. My husband, Mark, and I have three children: Amanda, Derek, and Devin.  As a family, we enjoy the outdoors, bike riding, and walking.  My lifetime goal has been to work with children, and I am very happy to be working at North Wall!


Philosophy:  My purpose is to teach children a meaningful and balanced curriculum of skills and information through developmental activities that encourage the children to want to lean more while building positive self-esteem.  I believe that children learn best in a warm and caring atmosphere.  I believe each child is unique and is host to many strengths and intellect.  They are deserving of unconditional love, praise, and encouragement.  I believe children should be given the opportunity to grow and develop at their own pace and that all children deserve a quality education rich in life experience.
