Sanine Beck, Director
With a degree in Elementary Education, Sanine taught upper elementary for several years in Southern California, before moving back to the Midwest where she grew up. Prior to opening Little Learners Preschool and Academy, Sanine was the Director of another preschool in Lincoln. When she and her husband, Curt, adopted their son, Jeremiah, in 2007, Sanine resigned as the Director and stayed home that first year with their son, who was just entering kindergarten. Soon after, God called the Beck Family to open up Little Learners. Now in its 4th year, the preschool continues to grow and develop. God is certainly at the helm of Little Learners Preschool and Academy!
Natalie Lyman, Assistant Director and Academy Teacher
Natalie teaches one of the MWF a.m. Academy Classes, and is also the Assistant Director. Natalie graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a bachelor’s degree in Education and Human Sciences, with a concentration in Child, Youth & Family Studies. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her boyfriend of 2 years, Tim. She also loves to travel, go shopping with her mom, going to the movies, and playing outside with her nephew. Another fun fact about Natalie is that she's obsessed with Oreo cookies. She could literally eat a whole bag if she was dared to! Natalie loves to laugh and have a good time with her friends and family.

Kaytlin teaches Academy Classes Monday through Friday morning, and also teaches the MWF afternoon class.

Together, Kaytlin and Bob have a red fish, Henry, and 14 year old dog named Jake. She enjoys reading, going on bike rides, watching movies, and much more!
Diana Tyshkun, Preschool Teacher
Diana teaches the MWF a.m. Preschool Class and one of the T/Th Preschool Classes. Diana is Ukrainian and comes from a big family of 13. Ever since she could remember, she always wanted to be a teacher. She is currently attending Southeast Community College to finish her degree in education. Diana believes that working with children is a blessing from God, and she wants to put that blessing to good use!

We are so excited to have Molly join the Little Learners team!
Sarah Howsden, Substitute and Extended Care Teacher
Sarah has been with Little Learners for three years now, teaching the Terrific Two's and Early Three's Class. She did an excellent job in that position and was fundamental in helping develop the program. As this is her last semester at UNL, there was no more flexibility in her class schedule that would allow Sarah to continue teaching on T/Th mornings at Little Learners. She will be greatly missed by her students. But Sarah will continue her employment at Little Learners as a regular substitute teacher when her class schedule allows, as well as an Extended Care teacher on some afternoons.
