About
My Program
I am Christi Green Warr, Founder and educator at Green’s Learning Academy. I am excited you are interested in my program. I always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to follow my mother’s example and be an early childhood educator. I wanted to add traits of my father and my childhood experiences of growing on the family farm as a 4th generation dairy farmer. And Dirt Learning was born.
I started working with children at a young age, as I grew up in a family that fostered many babies. I also babysat for my neighbors. At age 18 I began working at a daycare. During that time I completed my CDA (The Child Development Associate Credential). I also became a nanny for a wonderful business owner and I started my home preschool in 2003 as a practicum class while finishing my degree in Early Childhood.
I have been a lead teacher with the Head Start Program since 2004 and I have taught in many classrooms and settings. I have taught and worked with hundreds of students of all ages. This includes teaching in Elementary, Jr. High and High school classes including special education classes. I also teach teenagers and adults in aquatic programs and CPR/First aid classes. As well as teaching and training other educators.

Hello! I’m Shelece Falslev! I’m a play facilitator at Dirt Learning! I’ve enjoyed working with kids since I was one myself! I received my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 2007, and a Master’s degree in instructional design in 2013. I spent 10 years teaching kindergarten before leaving the classroom to stay home with my own kids. My youngest child attended Dirt Learning and I thought the program was so fun and just what kids need! When Christi was looking for help, I immediately applied! I enjoy connecting with the students and their families! The kids are so creative, inquisitive, and fun to be around! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and my pets. I also like crafts, camping, being outside, and the occasional nap!
