Our Amazing Staff

Picture
We have a staff of committed Christians who consistently model God’s great love for the children, their friends and their families. Our staff is carefully selected for their educational background, experience, and understanding of the needs of young children. Teachers share basic Christian ideas of love, reconciliation and service during the course of each day through example, conversation, problem solving and circle time.


Stacy Poyzer - Lead Teacher Pre K

I received my early childhood education at Pacific Coast Bible College. I have taught in early education in Idaho for several years before coming to Hope Lutheran Preschool. This is now my seventh year at Hope! I have fun teaching the A,B,C's and 1,2,3's as well as values like honesty, integrity, compassion, responsibility, kindness, and love. We learn positive self-esteem, and the ability to handle emotions like frustration. to help them grow up well rounded.

I've been married for 38 years and have two daughters, Jaime and Jennifer, and a son-in-law. We still enjoy living in Idaho after 13 years and in my spare time I enjoy horseback riding, swimming, and reading. 
Most importantly, I love teaching God's little children!

Kathi King - Assistant Teacher Pre K

I have been with Hope Preschool for over 2 years now and have always had a heart for children. I receive so much joy watching them learn and grow during the school year. I also firmly believe that it takes a village to raise a child. The more adults a child has in his/her life, that make them feel safe and valued, the more likely that child will grow to be a healthy adult. My training and experiences as a foster parent taught me a lot about the special needs of children, dealing with behaviors, and loving unconditionally.

My husband Randy and I have been married for over 30 years and moved to Star, ID in 1997. Randy is currently the Senior Lender and Branch Manager at D.L. Evans Bank. Our son Todd and his wife Britney live in Sherwood, OR where Todd works for Apple Computers and is an Associate Pastor. Our daughter Tia lives locally and is a hair stylist and manager at Sports Clips. Lexie, one of our foster children, is still part of our family though she no longer lives with us full time. 

Now that I'm an empty-nester, I enjoy being involved in different ministries at Hope, scrap booking, reading, and my dogs!

Renee Stinar - Director

I have been a member of Hope Lutheran Church for over 16 years and Director of the preschool for 8 years. I feel really blessed to be a part of this preschool. I received my BA from San Francisco State University with my core courses in early childhood development. While attending college I began working as a teacher's aide, working my way to director. After moving to Idaho I took a coordinator's position with the Boise Family YMCA - coordinating local school-age and preschool programs. I want this preschool to work in partnership with you to nurture your child’s development and make this an enriching experience for your whole family.

My husband Jason and I have been married for 18 years and Jason is a fireman with the Boise Fire Department. We have lived in Eagle Idaho for over 18 years and have 3 wonderful children ages 10, 11, and 14. 

Erin Savoca - Bookkeeper & Substitute

I have been blessed to be a member of the staff here at Hope Preschool since 2012 as Bookkeeper.  In 2014 I was given the opportunity to put my education background and love of children to use as a substitute teacher.  I took early childhood development and elementary education classes at University of California, San Diego and Boise State University.  I also currently teach the Positive Actions program at the elementary school level.

My husband and I moved to Boise in 2002 and began attending Hope Lutheran in 2006.  I have two children, who have both loved their time at Hope Lutheran Preschool.  In my free time I enjoy reading and playing soccer.
