There was a time when I truly believed I could be my children’s teacher. After all, I had taught them to walk and talk, how to give the best hugs, and how to say their prayers. How hard could math and writing really be?  

As it turns out… pretty tough. It became clear rather quickly that wearing both the “Mom” and “Teacher” hats wasn’t benefiting me—or my daughters. What my husband and I did know, without question, was that we wanted them learning in a safe, Christ-centered environment. Having been raised in private Christian schools myself, I began searching with my husband for the right place for our girls to grow and learn.  

From the moment we walked into Cascade Christian, it felt like home. The staff greeted us with warmth and genuine care, taking the time to truly see us and welcome us in. We knew right away this was a place we wanted to be for the long haul.  

Not long after, an opportunity opened for me to join the enrollment team—a role that would allow me to share with other families the incredible blessing Cascade Christian has been to us. Now in my third year here, I continue to feel grateful every day, especially when I get to help families find the same peace and confidence I felt when enrolling my own children.  

And now, it’s your turn. There’s no better time to invite friends to experience what makes our Cascade Christian family so special than during our annual Open House. Bring a friend (or five) and explore any or all of our campuses. We’ll be here from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and we would truly love to see you.

Blessings,
