Helping Raise Humanity

Our Teachers

At Helping Raise Humanity, as the Director I bring over 19 years of professional experience working with individuals of all ages—from infants to adults. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education from ASU and before moving to MO I spent nearly a decade teaching at a private preschool in Tempe, AZ, including 7 years as a lead teacher in Toddler Ones and Preschool 3s classrooms. Teaching and learning alongside young children is my life’s passion, second only to raising my own two children.

I strive to create an emotionally supportive and intellectually rich environment where children feel safe, seen, and inspired to learn. My approach is rooted in child development and respectful caregiving practices, ensuring that each child is guided with patience, understanding, and encouragement. Every activity is intentionally planned to support their unique pace of growth and help them discover the joy of learning.

I believe that the relationship between educator and child is foundational. Through consistent, heart-centered guidance, I help children grow into compassionate, confident, and capable individuals—ready to thrive in both school and life.

Testimonials

“She encourages curiosity, kindness, imaginative play, and so much more! Krina teaching in Maryville would be such a delightful experience for our children and would be a positive impact on our entire community!!!”

“Krina looks at each child as an individual and loves them for it. I’ve always seen her classroom as a place of controlled chaos leaving much room for creating and nurturing learning. I believe Supporting Krina’s mission will help foster growth and development of a whole community.”

“I am delighted to see this come to life in the mid-west. Krina is an exceptional teacher and I have no doubt that her program will excel and nurture her students. I am looking forward to watching this grow for Krina and her future students. This girl knows what she is doing!”

Philosophy

Mission: We aim to offer, from infancy, an experience that nurtures, enlightens, engages and challenges a child at an appropriate, individualized level to promote developmental growth through natural exploration; our goal is to support unique exploration through individualized expectations that challenge each child with an opportunity for success.

Vision: At Helping Raise Humanity we strive to promote a love for learning, beginning with infancy, through challenging success at individualized levels of growth supported by parents with the resources to be their child’s first teachers and advocates. ​ The educational programs at Helping Raise Humanity are created with children’s needs in mind: to mature and develop in a safe yet stimulating environment. Helping to support the whole child and their whole body at every level of growth including physically, mentally, intellectually and socially. Since 1949, the World Health Organization (WHO) has noted that health is “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease and infirmity.”

Philosophy: At Helping Raise Humanity, we believe in nurturing the whole child—physically, mentally, intellectually, and socially—beginning in infancy. Rooted in individualized learning and natural exploration, our approach empowers each child to grow at their own pace through meaningful challenges and opportunities for success. We view parents as a child’s first and most important teachers, and we partner with families to foster a lifelong love for learning within a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment.
