The Teacher

Castle Kids Pre-school


My name is JoAnne (Christensen) Butts, I was born and raised in Payson, UT. I spent my first year of High School over seas discovering and learning about different cultures and traditions. I have been teaching Pre School for the last three years and I also substitute teach for Tumblebugs Childcare and Pre School. I am working on receiving my Early Childhood Education Certificate through the State of Utah. I am now also  a State licenced Childcare provider. I am a member of the PFCCA (Professional Family Child Care Association). ). I have always enjoyed teaching children and watching children grow as they learn and discover new things.  I am excited for this school year and meeting my new students!!



I am the very proud mother of four wonderful children (ages 20mo., 3, 6, and 9 1/2).  I have been a room mom for my children's schools, worked as a class helper in their class's and I am a member of the PTA.  I am also a Wolf Cub Scout Leader and enjoy throwing parties and events.   Some of my hobbies include motorcycle riding, camping, digital scrap booking, and of course spending time with my children and family.
 I haven't always been so very blessed to be able to stay home with my children. I am very aware of the frustration and worry that comes with childcare and finding the right pre-school . I strive to make my pre-school and childcare a fun, loving, and nurturing experience. I am also very willing to work with the parents as much as I can to provide a positive experience for both parent and child.
