Ms. Kristine-Owner/Director

I purchased Bizzy Bumblebee Preschool January of 2023 and rebranded it to now, New Foundations Preschool.  I  previously worked at Bizzy Bumblebee Preschool from 2008-2014. While working at Bizzy Bumblebee, I received my associate degree with a focus on Early Education and Family Studies. I started as a Teachers Aid, and eventually held the role of an Assistant Director. In 2014, I went on to expand my professional experience and moved into the world of staffing. While in this position, I was able to fine tune my Human Resource and Customer Service skills. I continued my education at George Fox University, where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership and Management. Unfortunately, in 2020 the employment market took a sharp turn, so did the need for staffing support. An opportunity presented itself for me to transition to my husband’s company in the role of HR and Accounting. I have always dreamed of owning my own preschool, and beyond grateful to make that dream come true. Though there is nothing more rewarding that supporting these young minds and watching them grow and be successful in their years post Preschool.  In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband and children, traveling, crafting/card making, and hiking. 

 Ms. Rachael-  Preschool Teacher/ Assistant Director 

 I became a teachers aid around 2012 and worked my way up to a teacher/ substitute director.  I love knowing that I am making a difference in the children's lives that I work with, and setting them up for their future. I love seeing their individual personalities and creativity in the classroom. I love camping and spending time with my husband, family,  and friends. 

Ms. Sadie - Preschool Teacher/Assistant Director

I started working at the preschool back in 2015, and fell in love with helping and teaching children. I started as a teachers aid and worked up to substitute director over the past 9 years. I am a proud  mom and  wife. We spend a lot of time with family and working on our rural property in Molalla. 

Ms. Denise-Pre-K teacher 

I’ve been a childcare provider and preschool teacher since 2003. As a mom to four, I have always loved working with children. In my spare time I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, thrifting and watching college football. For over 20 years I was the owner/operator of a state licensed home daycare. 

Ms.Faith -Pre-K teachers

Pre K teacher at new foundations! 

At the age of 12 I started helping out during the summer reading and doing flash cards with the kids at my mom’s daycare that she has ran out of our house since I was just an infant. By the age of 15 my grandma asked me to come work for her as a preschool aid for the preschool she owned formally known as Bizzy Bumblebee and then advanced to a teacher a couple years later, my love for childcare grew and since I have continued to work over the past 9 years in childcare. Everyday seeing the kids smiles and them running to you in the mornings with the biggest hug is one of the main reasons I love being a teacher. To watch these kids grow and blossom from toddlers to them graduating to go off to kindergarten is the coolest thing, it’s a blessing to be able to be apart of their lives. Outside of work I love going to the beach, hanging out with friends and family and absolutely love going paddle boarding in the summer! 

 Ms. Kylie- Toddler Teacher/Aide

Hi, I’m Kylie Magee and I’m a teacher/aide. After high school I attended Aveda Institute and graduated from both the cosmetology and esthiology programs. I was on my way to becoming a licensed professional when my niece with special needs was born. It wasn’t long before spending time with Paisley, helping her discover the world in her own unique way and seeing her joy in learning new things made me realize I needed to change my career path. I love being a teacher because I get to see that same happiness and joy of learning every day in the students I work with. I love to travel, spend time with my family and friends, and go to the Oregon coast to enjoy the sounds of the waves as often as possible!
