Krista Krentz

Indigenous Focused Early Learning Instructor - Team lead

I am an instructor for the Indigenous Focused Early Childhood Educator program for the Louis Riel Vocational College. I have been working in the field of Early Childhood Education in a variety of capacities for more than 20 years. I am constantly learning more about children and childhood and am applying it to my teaching. I believe that children can teach us far more than we can teach them and I encourage my students to be 'forever learners' throughout their careers and lives.

I am determined to promote and push forward reconciliation and feel there is no better way than teaching ALL children and families about history, diversity and empathy.

During my spare time, I enjoy reading, music and spending time with my 2 sons and my husband.

Teresa Muirhead

IFECE Instructor

In March of 2022, I joined the Team, as an Instructor for the Indigenous Focused Early Childhood Education, for the Louis Riel Vocational College.

I am born and raised in Winnipeg and reside very close to the direct Community that I grew up in. They often say, you never leave the area you grew up in or if you do, you will return. This is true of me!

My educational background is vast. I am a 1988 Graduate of Red River College Polytechnic (formerly Red River College) with an Early Childhood Educator III. I also hold an Honors Certificate in Aboriginal Studies from RRC. Along with my College education, I have completed studies at the University of Winnipeg, the University of Manitoba and Assiniboine Community College. My background includes training as a Home Visitor, FAE/FAS facilitator, and a Train the trainer in Inclusion.

I have held many roles within the Early Childhood Education field over the years - at the grassroots level, as a frontline staff, in supervisor positions, along with over 27 plus years at various childcare programs, as a Director, in both City and Rural Programs, in Manitoba, along with a year in Ontario.

I am honored to now be a Member of the Team at LRVC and being a Mentor to Students studying, as they pursue their education in the Early Childhood Education field. I was taught from day one in the field that we can make a difference. And we do, no matter what role we hold in the Childcare Community, as ECE's.
