Lori Knapp

Welcome!  I am Mrs. Lori and I have the privilege of serving as the Director of Zion Lutheran Preschool.  I began working here September 1987 as a teacher and have 25 years total in the education ministry.  I am a member of Zion and serve in the choir and as a ChristCare leader.  I serve on the National Lutheran Schools Accreditation Commission, where I am also a consultant and validator.  I was selected as the Pacific Southwest District Early Childhood Educator of the Year in 2002.  The best part of my job is the hugs from my kiddies!!  I am a recent graduate of Concordia University and am currently enrolled in the colloquy program to become a rostered Lutheran educator.

Hi, my name is Angie Knapp and I have the privilege of serving the Zion ministry for 10 years.  I am a Pre-K teacher in the Purple Room and the Assistant Director.  I have received my Early Childhood Certificate of Lutheran Teaching from Concordia University - Irvine and have returned to Concordia to obtain my B.A. I love sharing God's love with the children and watching them grow every day. I am a HUGE sports fan (baseball, football) and love sharing that with the children, too!

2 Purple Room Teacher

Renee Scott

Hi, my name is Renee Scott.  I have worked at Zion Lutheran Preschool for three wonderful years now.   I started in this field 27 years ago at the age of 20.  Teaching and being with the children is what I love best.  I would love to retire from Zion because not only do they teach the basics, but they teach the Word of God.  This is where the Lord has called me and  I am happy to be.

3 Red Room Teacher

Debbie Leker

Hi, I am Debbie Leker and I have been working in a preschool setting since I was a young adult.  I have my degree in Early Childhood Development.  I do plan on going back to college to finish my degree in teaching in a couple of months.  I enjoy teaching Pre-K as they make me smile and encourage me to keep teaching.  I have been here at Zion since 2007 and I enjoy working in this wonderful place.  My life thought is that you can never stop learning & that God will always be there to help you when rough times come along.
