Staff

meet our staff!

This page is under construction.

There will be more information added about our staff soon. We know how important it is for you to know who is caring for your children. For now you can at least put a face to a name.

Our program is often the perfect fit for college students pursuing a degree in a child related field. If you are interested in working with us, please watch for job postings on indeed.com or email us for more information childcentralstationllc@gmail.com

STAFF REQUIREMENTS

All program staff members are required to undergo a criminal background check including fingerprints. Caregivers will be required to obtain a minimum of 16 hours of professional development annually, including certifications in First Aid, CPR, and Blood Borne Pathogens. Many of our staff members are NMU students aspiring to work with young people when they graduate.

Our goal is to provide high quality, consistent care and learning experiences for your child(ren).

ADULT TO CHILD RATIOS

The current staff to child ratio policy according to state licensing is 1:18. In most situations, you will find that we strive for and achieve a much smaller adult to child ratio.

OUR TEAM AT GRAVERAET

Kristine

Assistant Program Director

Graveraet

I have a BA in Secondary Education in Social Studies and Mathematics. I am currently getting my Masters in Social Work at NMU. I have worked with children for about 7 years now. I love getting to know kids and being able to watch their personalities develop as they grow older and to see what little adults they grow up to be. When I’m not at work I love to be outside exploring or at the beach swimming when it’s warm enough! I started at Child Central Station, LLC in April of 2024.

STIna

Site Supervisor

Graveraet

I love connecting and sharing fun moments with the kids while being reminded of how big and beautiful the world is. I’m certified in crisis prevention, de-escalation, and person centered planning in behavior health. I hope to be a safe place for anyone needing to process emotions, as well as someone who will support and encourage individual growth. I’m passionate about music, have spent time recording in Nashville, and write songs that others can relate to while going through a hard time. I started at CCS in May 2024.
