Our caring, experienced staff is licensed or certified in elementary education. Their loving dedication and professional demeanor cultivate an environment where children can thrive, knowing they are safe, loved and supported as they stretch their wings.
Education has always been celebrated and encouraged in my life. The emphasis of the individual child and his/her unique point of view has been a mainstay of my philosophy. I have a variety of experience in several grade levels, but none excites me more than Kindergarten. The journey they are beginning is fantastic and a joy to experience with them!

I have taught in Lutheran schools in Texas, Missouri, and Nevada, in Kindergarten through Grade 4, as well as one year in Iowa public schools in special education. First and foremost it is my job to go and tell others about Jesus as stated in Matthew 28: 16 – 20 (The Great Commission). By sharing God’s love and His plan for our salvation, it is my hope that my students would grow in their relationship with the one triune God. I pray they would then share His love with others and serve Him throughout their lives.

I love teaching 2nd graders at Mountain View Lutheran School. It is such a caring and supportive environment. I love seeing the tremendous academic growth that the students make each year, as well as seeing them grow in their relationship with God.

I am originally from a town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I ended up student-teaching in Las Vegas. My husband and I have been here ever since, blessed with three children and two dogs. My greatest joy is getting to watch my students grow and become excited about their educational journey. I'm so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community.

I am humbled that God called me to serve Him as a Lutheran teacher. I was born and raised in California. I started my teaching ministry in Lutheran schools in Colorado, where I taught first and fourth grade. Teaching fourth grade is my passion. I am so excited that God has called me to teach at Mountain View.

After teaching for a year in public schools, I missed discussing God’s love with my students, so I was overjoyed when God opened the door for me to come to MVLCS. It has been a great joy to guide my students as they grow spiritually, physically, and academically as they move through the grades at Mountain View and on to junior and senior high school and beyond.

Contact Mrs. Tremayne
I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was a toddler, propping up my baby brothers to play school. I once turned down a job offer at Microsoft so that I could continue to teach children. I love sharing the excitement of students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 as they learn and master skills in word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and keyboarding. It’s also a joy to watch students grow in their spiritual journey as they eagerly volunteer to lead their classmates in opening prayers each week.

Contact Mrs. Schlicker
My husband is the luckiest man in the world. He has been married to me for 25+ years. I have two sons, Matthew and Robert, and a fur-baby, Abby. I originally started at Mountain View as a parent to a preschooler years ago. I decided that I liked it so much, I came to work here. I left for a while to pursue another school and schooling opportunities in early childhood education. I enjoy working and sharing the love of the Lord with children. I love them like they are my own. After some time away, I felt a strong feeling that I needed to come home, so, here I am!
