Kristina Reyes ​(Ms. Kristina) Threes Teacher

I am delighted to be known as Ms. Kristina among my Tiny Tot family. I am a certified yoga instructor as well as a graduate of Illinois State University with my B.A. in Theatre and English Education. 
​
The most essential lesson I’ve learned -so far- in my journey as an educator is that Love and Listening are the keys to making connections of all kinds.  I believe that it is equally as important to build upon childrens’ positive strengths as it is to remedy their weaknesses. I aim to contribute to the well-being of my community by engaging my little students to develop a love of learning while supporting them during difficult transitions, by nurturing a safe space for families to build more connected relationships, and by modeling strategies that transform obstacles into opportunities to flourish.

Hello, my name is Jasmine Santos.  I am 19 years old and a mother of a 2 year old boy.  I graduated from Nicholas Senn High in 2019.  I love playing volleyball and doing makeup.  My son and I love to watch Coco - it's our favorite movie.  We also love to dance, sing, and run at the park. 

I have always enjoyed spending time with kids; so, I started working as a babysitter in 8th grade and continued to my junior year.  I have learned a lot from being a babysitter and moreso from being a mother, but I hope to learn even more about children, patience and how to be a better mother while working at Tiny Tot .
