MRS. CINDY ECKERT
Mrs. Eckert is our dedicated and compassionate preschool teacher at St. Joseph's Catholic School, where she shares her love for teaching God’s precious little ones and nurturing their young minds.
Mrs. Eckert’s journey into education began at a young age when she and a friend started a neighborhood "Kiddie Care" during sixth grade. Her passion for working with children continued to grow, leading her to pursue a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Concordia University - Chicago with concentrations in Mathematics and Early Childhood.
After years of volunteer work and substitute teaching, Mrs. Eckert found her calling in teaching preschoolers. For 13 years, she had the privilege of guiding three-year-olds and for four years, she delighted in teaching four-year-olds. She finds immense joy in the preschool environment, where children's boundless enthusiasm for life and learning is truly infectious.
Originally from Wisconsin, Mrs. Eckert relocated to Grand Rapids with her husband and two daughters over 25 years ago. With her daughters happily married and two grandchildren adding incredible joy to their lives, her favorite pastime is spending time with her family.
