Meet Room 3 Staff
Welcome to Ms. Lana!
Ms Lana
I am a single mother to three amazing boys. Jake who is a senior, and twins - Joshua and Ryan who are freshmen. I have 12 years of teaching experience. My most recent experience was as the program director with a small non-profit that worked with children with neurological disorders. During this time I taught social skills to children aged pre-k through young adult. Previously, my experience was teaching pre-k at private preschools. I adore children and am passionate about early childhood education. I believe that we never truly know "the" moment when a child's view of themselves and of the educational process is the moment that will make the biggest difference. I am very excited to join Grace and room 3. I can't wait to see where the journey with Ms. Shannon's team leads!

Hello Families,

I graduated from Belton high school and currently live in Belton. I enjoy making crafts, watching movies, and spending time with my daughter. I’m very pleased to be one your child’s safe keepers. I enjoy learning and watching every one of your little’s grow.

Welcome to Grace, we are so excited to be a part of your child's early learning experiences this school year. I have lived in the KC area most of my life and graduated from UMKC. I taught second grade for two years and then discovered my passion for Early Childhood when I started at Grace in 2004. My oldest son, Thomas is 12 years old and Adam & Lauren are 9 years old. They have been a part of Grace their whole lives : )
My number one hobby is reading and I also enjoy watching movies, hiking and outings with my family. Although I love reading books for myself, I also adore children's books and delight in sharing them with children and have had to dedicate an entire walk-in closet to my collection! Looking forward to a great year!
