Children’s House Lead Teacher

Kristi Lethenstrom

My name is Kristi Lethenstrom, and I have been a credentialed Montessori teacher for 17 years. I am thrilled to join St. Mary’s School as a Children’s House Lead Teacher. I have a Bachelors in English from The Ohio State University , a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University, and an Early Childhood Montessori Credential from The Columbus Montessori Teacher Education Program.

I have a true passion for working with our youngest learners!! Helping each child progress in all areas of their development—academic and social-emotional —is a challenge that I am honored to accept daily. I strive to create a community of learners that nurtures this growth in a positive, fun environment. Personally, my husband John and I celebrated 15 years of marriage this June! We are avid sports fans, and enjoy cheering on the Buckeyes, Browns, Guardians, and Cavs. We also enjoy spending time with our two dogs Slinky and Tootsie, family, and friends.
I look forward to working together with you as partners in your child’s growth and development!!
