Laura Hoff was called to serve as Kindergarten teacher at Calvary Early Learning Center in 2007. Prior to that she taught for 21 years in 3 different Lutheran schools. Mrs. Hoff loves teaching the Kindergarteners for many reasons. The small class size at CELC gives her an opportunity to give individualized instruction to the students. Mrs. Hoff is very excited about being able to provide the foundation for new readers. It is a wonderful time when children recognize their first words and then begin to sound them out on their own. Her all-time favorite reason for teaching and enjoying Kindergarten is being able to teach about Jesus and praying with the children each day. Their child-like faith helps to strengthen her own.  

Megan Snider joined the staff of CELC as an aide in the spring of 2016.  She was a member of the CELC school board for several years, including serving a term as president, before joining the staff.  Megan’s passion for sharing God’s love with little ones compelled her to make the jump into a formal teaching role.  She has also enjoyed teaching Sunday School to preschool and elementary school children for more than a decade.  Prior to teaching, Megan was a Corporate and Government Public Relations consultant.  Megan has a bachelor’s degree in English Writing, with a Creative Writing Emphasis from the University of Pittsburgh.
