Growing Minds for the Future and Hearts for Jesus
Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church and Early Childhood Program believes in the importance of developing, inspiring, and growing young minds and hearts. We provide a program dedicated to partnering with parents to enrich your child's spiritual, educational, physical, and emotional growth. We have carefully constructed an environment in which children can explore the content areas of literacy, math, communities, science, and the arts through structured play, all while reminding them that their savior Jesus Christ loves them, and because of His love, they can love others as well.
Meet the team.
Laura Myers
Director and Preschool Teacher
My passion is early childhood education. I find great satisfaction in helping children grow in their developmental skills. I consider myself blessed to be fortunate enough to do this in an environment where I can share my faith in Jesus Christ with these little ones. I love working with families to provide an atmosphere where they can confidently leave their children each day. I am married, have 4 children of my own and have been working with children for 30 years.
Karla Schettenhelm
Preschool Teacher
Teaching children was my desire since I taught my dolls as a young child! I have taught several grades of school, but preschool is my favorite. I love being one of children’s first teachers and helping to build a positive foundation of school and learning. Being able to share Jesus and help instill His love in young children is a great blessing of working in a Lutheran school. In addition to “my” children in my classes, I have been blessed with 2 children of my own. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Lutheran Teacher Diploma from Concordia Ann Arbor and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Eastern Michigan University.
Anna Myers
Toddler Room Teacher
I have been working in the Early Childhood Program since June of 2021 as an aide before taking the lead position in the toddler room in the fall of 2023. I have a heart for teaching and love planning and implementing activities that help children grow and develop. The most important thing for me is to be able to do this in an environment that teaches children how much Jesus loves them. I love working with toddlers and am currently pursuing a CDA in Early Childhood development at Schoolcraft College.
Lauren Lozano
Infant Room Teacher
My name is Lauren Lozano. I began working in Early Childhood Education as an assistant caregiver after graduating high school. That part-time position grew into 15 years of loving little ones and watching them grow. I am a happily married mother of 3 wonderful boys. I began working at Christ Our Savior in 2020 as an infant assistant caregiver. I am blessed to be taking the role of lead caregiver and am attending Schoolcraft college to further my education in infant care. I look forward to helping the infants in this program grow, thrive, and explore the world around them. I am thrilled to be doing this in an environment where children are learning the love of Jesus Christ.
