Tani Riel

Hello!
I am so fortunate to be a part of the St John's community, where everyone is inviting, encouraging, and ready to help. What a wonderful place to start your child's educational journey, and an amazing place to continue it!

Professional Background:
I am a graduate of the University of MN and began my career in education about 30 years ago. As the preschool coordinator, I am blessed to be working with all of our preschool families and teachers. I also truly enjoy working with our Eagle Club families and staff as the Eagle Club Coordinator.
When I'm not at St John's, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing music. We all love to spend as much time as possible together at our cabin in northern Wisconsin. There is nothing better than watching the sunsets from the dock after a long day of activities.

Educational Philosophy:
I always try to remember that every moment is a teachable moment. No one is ever too old to learn something new, and children are great reminders of that through their curiosity and eagerness to learn. I look forward to working with our children, teachers, and families to help create and continue a passion for learning with all ages.
