Anja Whitley

Director

I started my education in early childhood development back in 1994 in Frankfurt Germany. I graduated 5 years later with my degree as a State Educator in Early Childhood Development.

I have experience working with children ages 2 through 13 years old. My favorite age group to work with are pre-k children as well as school age children.I moved to California 8 years ago and started teaching at Christ Lutheran Preschool, after my youngest daughter graduated from CLP. I went back to college to add more ECE classes to my education and also added my Admin class which gave me the opportunity to start working as the Director here at Christ Lutheran. I am blessed to have found such a great group of families, children, and teachers that make it very fun and rewarding to come to work every day!

2-3 Year Old & After-school Care Teacher

Hey! I'm very excited to be working here at Christ Lutheran. I graduated high school in 2021 & am currently attending college for my teaching credentials. I am currently coteaching with Ms. Karina & I am also the after-school care teach​er. My favorite thing about my job is seeing each child's personality & building connections while helping them grow into their best versions of themselves. Somethings I love to do are hang out with friends & family, attending Disneyland & concerts, & watching movies. I look forward to being your child's teacher.
