Hello!!
My name is Jody Silbernick and I am one of the preschool teachers at Atonement. I teach the 3yr old program on Tuesday & Thursday mornings and a 4yr program on Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings. I have a degree in Applied Psychology and Child and Family Studies. I have worked in different centers for 10 plus years and have also done In-Home family Counseling. I believe that children need 3 areas of growth to make them successful in school and life in general. These would be educational, social and self confidence. Throughout the year of preschool, I am always amazed at how each child develops these skills as individuals yet they work as a classroom to get there!! Over the past year I have realized that PRESCHOOL is where my heart is. I live in Sartell with my husband and two sons, (Zach-11 & Connor-6). I truly believe preschool is a wonderful opportunity and stepping stone for children. It is a place to learn how to respect others, be
part of a team, follow rules and to find self confidence. I look forward to meeting you and your child and watching their growth in the upcoming year.
Hi, My name is Deb Vadies and I am very happy to be a part of the preschool team at Atonement Preschool. I have had many years of child care experience. I worked for the Children's Home Society of Mn at the St. Cloud Hospital Child Care center for 11 years and I did Daycare in my home for the past 6 years. I live in Sauk Rapids with my Husband, Sean and our 3 daughters, Megan (13), Kelsey (10) and Abby (7). I am excited about this new opportunity and look forward to meeting you and your child this next year.

Lutheran schools have said, "Let the Children Come." Over the past 10 years, many children have come to Atonement Preschool to learn. They have learned about numbers, letters, sharing and friendship. They have also learned that they are God's beloved children. We would love to have your child join our Christian preschool to learn in an environment that encourages faith, honesty, trust, respect and responsibility.
