Meet the Leaders

Guided by Faith. Rooted in Love. Committed to Each Child.

Meet Ms. Rebecca
Elementary Guide | The Lighthouses (Ages 5.5 - 9)

Guided by a Master’s-Trained, K–6 Certified Educator with a Deep Love for Jesus and Children

I’m a certified teacher with a master’s degree in education and over a decade of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including three years in the public school classroom.

As the Lead Guide, I implement a seasonal, nature-based rhythm that brings the community together while honoring each child’s unique stage of growth. Rooted in my faith in Jesus, I am passionate about helping children develop a deep reverence for God’s creation through hands-on exploration, outdoor learning, and meaningful play.

I blend research-based approaches to reading, writing and math with creative, whole-brain learning so that curiosity and strong foundations can grow together. My work is also shaped by restorative practices, guiding children through conflict with empathy, clear communication, and a spirit of forgiveness.

I believe childhood should be filled with wonder. Children learn best when they are free to get messy, take risks, ask questions, and truly enjoy the process of learning. I strive to create a warm, peaceful environment where each child feels seen, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

Outside of the collective, I love spending time in nature, especially birding, baking for my cookie business, reading, and being with my husband, our two cats, and the people we love.

It is a joy to partner with families in cultivating curious minds, resilient hearts and a lifelong love of learning.

Faith-Based Early Childhood Guide (Ages 3.5–5) – The Lambs

Part-Time | 2 Days/Week | 8:30 AM–1:00 PM
Light of The World – Wilton, CT

Light of the World is a Christ-centered learning collective in Wilton, CT, launching Fall 2026. We are a parent-led community rooted in faith, connection, and a desire to nurture children and families in a more intentional way.

We are seeking a gentle, faith-filled guide who loves Jesus and naturally cultivates an atmosphere of peace, joy, and wonder for young children.

The Role

You will walk alongside a mixed-age group of children (ages 3.5–5) within a play-based, nature-rich, faith-rooted environment. This is not a traditional classroom. Your role is to cultivate rhythm, beauty, and a sense of wonder — supporting each child’s development while modeling Christlike presence, patience, and care.

Who You Are

• You love Jesus and feel called to work with young children
• You have experience with ages 3–5 (teaching, homeschooling, nannying, ministry, or similar)
• You bring a calm, patient, and nurturing presence
• You are aligned with a gentle, child-honoring approach to early childhood
• You are familiar with or drawn to Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, Montessori, or nature-based approaches
• You are comfortable maintaining a technology-free environment
