Director
Miss Kristen
Hello, my name is Kristen. I am the Director at Harleysville Learning Center. I became a part of the HLC family at the start of the 2013 school year. We truly are a family here at HLC and that's what I love about it! It is such a joy learning and growing together as a team! I received my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education from Gwynedd Mercy College in 2011. I have had a variety of experiences working with children throughout the years both inside and outside of the classroom. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, baking, crafting, and spending time with my family and friends. I am a Mom of four beautiful girls who I have the pleasure of watching grow right here at HLC. I'm looking forward to seeing all of my "kiddos" this school year as well as meeting some new faces!
