Crystal Garabito
Wee Place Director & Nursery Coordinator
Stepping into the role of Director at Wee Place has filled my heart with immense joy. Having previously taught here, I am beyond thrilled to return and be part of the relaunch of this beloved school. It is a true blessing to serve both our church and the children entrusted to us. I’ve been happily married to my amazing husband, Christian, for 8 years, and together we are blessed with three beautiful children: Aubrey, Leo, and Olivia. My passion for teaching flows directly from my love for being a mother. I am truly excited to pour God's love and wisdom into each child, believing wholeheartedly that they are the leaders of tomorrow. Two of my favorite Bible verses that inspire me daily are: “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?”(Psalm 27:1) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”(Philippians 4:13) My faith in the Lord empowers me to live each day to its fullest, always doing everything with love and purpose.

Her prayer is to see a new generation awakened to their spiritual gifts and ignited for revival, knowing that many of the greatest movements of God have started with youth.
Shawn, along with her husband Brian and their family, is excited to partner with Taylor Bedrich to help Willow Kids discover their calling in Christ. Together, they hope to empower the next generation to be not just a spark but a burning remnant of God's glory. Shawn and Brian are also blessed parents and proud grandparents, with five grandchildren and another on the way.
