Gina haberstock (Miss gina), Lead teacher

“Hello! I have a BSc in Communication Disorders, majoring in Speech Therapy, and I have recently completed my level two Early Childhood Education certificate. I've spent most of my working career with children in some capacity: camp counselor, Educational Assistant in the public school system and most recently as an Early Childhood Educator in a daycare.

Our family has a long history at Riverbend Lutheran Church including that all three of my children attended RCP. I am so excited to meet you and your children and to see the adventures God has in store for this year.”

Lacy Short (miss lacy), teacher Assistant

"Welcome to Riverbend Christian Preschool! It is such a blessing to be able to build kids up for the Lord's kingdom. I have 2 kids of my own, and have been teaching preschool for Sunday school at my local church for the past 3 years. I also have experience working in a daycare as an early childhood educator and have multiple years experience volunteering in my kids' classrooms. Outside of the classroom I like to hike, workout, spend time with my family and read.

My favorite Bible verse is:

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9"

Naomi Begoray, Administrator

I am a graduate of the University of Alberta and used to work as a librarian. I have my level 1 Early Childhood Educator certificate and am busy working behind the scenes to ensure that RCP runs smoothly throughout the school year!

My husband and I have one son who attended RCP. I volunteer at my son’s school and at my church (I am a member of Riverbend Lutheran) and I love to read (both on my own and with my boy), watch my son play hockey and spend time outside being active with my family.
