Miss Kristen Van Heest

Hello, my name is Kristen Van Heest.  I am a first grade teacher at CTTCS.  This is my first year teaching at the school and I am proud to be a part of such a warm and inviting community.  First grade is an exciting year of growth for children and I am blessed to be able to watch them develop both academically and spiritually.

I graduated from Wilmington University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education.  I have been working with children of all ages for a total of 8 years.  I am very passionate about educating young minds.  I have had some amazing teachers growing up and I felt the longing to follow in their footsteps. 

I have lived in Newark, Delaware, my entire life.  I attended Holy Angels Catholic School and Saint Mark’s High School.  When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
