Hi! My name is Ms. Krystal. I have been teaching at Children Central since July of 2021, but I have been teaching Pre-Kindergarten for over 10 years now and I absolutely love it!
I am the lead Pre-Kindergarten teacher and Center Mentor here at Children Central. To further my education, I recently obtained my CDA (Child Development Associates) credential in preschool education. I plan to incorporate my new knowledge into the classroom to help better prepare the children for kindergarten.
Pre-K is my favorite age group because the children are so curious and love learning. I also love watching them turn into such independent little grownups throughout the school year. I hope to bring some new and exciting activities into the classroom to help your children get “Kindergarten ready” and have lots of fun while doing it.
I recently got engaged in fall of 2024 and became a first-time mom to a perfect little boy named Carter in May of 2025. So, when I am not teaching, you may find me spending time with my fiancé and son or rooting on my favorite sports teams (the Eagles and Phillies). I also have 3 cats named Theo, Ginger, and Millie who I call my fur children.
I am so excited to be your child’s Pre-K teacher and cannot wait to help them learn and grow throughout the school year! Together we have so many adventures, learn a whole lot, and make great memories while getting the children ready for kindergarten.
Hi! My name is Mrs. Raeli (pronounced rye-lee). I am so happy to be a Pre-K teacher for your children as of November 2025!
I officially began my teaching journey in 2023, working with children from two to five years old. Most recently, I have been a Pre-K teacher as this is my favorite age group because the children are so curious and naturally love learning! My goal in the classroom is always to make learning a fun, interactive adventure, ensuring that every child is excited to achieve their academic goals and turn into independent little people.
I am currently planning to start school soon to earn my CDA (Child Development Associates) credential, as I continue to pursue my education in this field. I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, in a large Samoan family—I am one of eleven kids! My husband and I were married in 2019 and moved to New Jersey the following year. We relocated to Pennsylvania in August 2025. While we do not have children of our own yet, I am a proud aunt to 17 nephews and nieces, and a great aunt to a wonderful great-nephew. My passion for teaching began at a very young age, in fact, I started changing diapers when I was just nine years old! This early experience of caring for my family helped me realize my calling to teach and nurture others.
Outside the classroom, I cherish quality time with my husband and family. You can often find us singing karaoke, playing sports, enjoying video games, or exploring new restaurants together.
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and can’t wait to make new memories with our class this year as we prepare the children for kindergarten!
