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.
