Kristy's Learning Center, Inc.
Meet our Learning Center Founders...
Ashlee Lane and Kristy Hollinger met in 2007 while team-teaching together at a local summer camp program. Things quickly evolved as they started to dream big about opening a center of their own. In 2009, they realized that dream and the Learning Center was opened for its very first class of twelve students. They shared a passion for teaching and learning then that is still alive today in their partnership as they continue to lead their staff and students into the future.
