Join us as we welcome our new Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Velasquez!

Hello! My name is Katie Velasquez, and I am excited to be joining Life Prep Academy as the Kindergarten teacher. My husband and I have been married for 18 years, and we have four children who all attend LPA.
My passion for working with children began long before becoming a mom. Prior to having children, I taught Pre-K and served as the director of an after-school program at a private school. After our first daughter was born, I had the incredible blessing of staying home to raise our children for many years. This past year, God opened new doors for me as I began substitute teaching at Life Prep and serving as the Interim Director of my church's daycare program.
One of the things I love most about Life Prep is its Christ-centered environment and commitment to helping each child grow academically, socially, and spiritually. I am passionate about creating a classroom where children feel loved, encouraged, and excited to learn.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to join the Life Prep family full-time and look forward to partnering with parents as we help students discover the gifts God has given them. I can't wait to see where God leads these children and to watch them grow throughout the year!
