Meet Faith Martin
Cultivating Hearts and Minds with Specialized Care
With gentle hands and a perceptive spirit, Faith Martin creates a kindergarten classroom where children don’t just learn—they truly flourish. For three years at A Child’s Touch, she has brought her exceptional gifts as both an educator and Master level therapist to our kindergarten program. Faith’s rare combination of specialized training and heartfelt dedication creates an environment where each child is seen, valued, and guided according to their unique God-given design.
When you ask Faith about her teaching philosophy, her answer reveals the heart behind her approach: “Every child has unique gifts and challenges. My job isn’t to create a uniform classroom but to recognize and nurture each child’s individual potential.” This perspective perfectly aligns with our center’s mission of providing personalized care that honors each child as a precious creation deserving of individualized attention and respect.
Professional Excellence with a Servant’s Heart
As a Master level therapist and certified Early Start Denver Model Specialist, Faith brings advanced training that sets her apart in early childhood education. These prestigious credentials equip her with specialized knowledge for working with children across all developmental stages, including those with behavioral differences and unique learning needs. Her professional expertise allows her to identify potential developmental challenges early and create individualized support strategies that help each child thrive.
Yet what truly distinguishes Faith’s approach goes beyond her impressive qualifications. In her classroom, children aren’t expected to conform to a one-size-fits-all model—instead, she adapts her techniques to match each child’s learning style and developmental pace. This adaptability stems from Faith’s genuine humility and servant’s heart. When asked about her professional legacy, her answer speaks volumes: “I don’t want to leave a legacy. I don’t care if they remember me. Only Jesus.” This selfless perspective reflects her authentic desire to serve rather than seek recognition.
Building Relationships That Foster Growth
“The foundation of effective teaching is genuine connection,” Faith often says, and she lives this belief daily. She dedicates herself to building meaningful relationships with every child in her care, understanding that trust forms the bedrock of successful learning. This relationship-first approach creates a classroom atmosphere where children feel secure enough to explore, question, and grow in confidence.
Parents consistently notice the difference this makes. One mother recently shared, “My daughter was struggling with confidence in other settings, but with Ms. Faith, she’s become a different child—eager to learn and proud of her accomplishments.” Another parent noted, “Ms. Faith somehow manages to make my son feel like the most important person in the room. She noticed his interest in building and incorporated engineering concepts into activities that captured his imagination completely.” These testimonials reflect Faith’s extraordinary ability to see and nurture each child’s unique strengths.
Learning Through Joy and Discovery
Walk into Faith’s kindergarten classroom and you’ll immediately sense the joyful energy. Learning here isn’t a tedious task—it’s an adventure that engages all the senses. Faith integrates playful activities into her teaching methods, ensuring children develop academically while experiencing the delight of discovery that God intended for young minds.
Her creative personal interests enhance this approach beautifully. Drawing from her love of art, music, crocheting, and outdoor adventures with her dog, Faith brings lessons to life through hands-on experiences that engage multiple learning styles. Whether they’re singing songs about mathematical concepts, creating art projects that reinforce reading skills, or exploring our nature-rich campus, children in Faith’s class develop a genuine love of learning that will serve them throughout their lives.
A Holistic Approach to Kindergarten
Faith understands that kindergarten represents a critical developmental period that shapes children’s attitudes toward education for years to come. Her approach integrates academic foundation-building with equally important social-emotional growth. Through intentional teaching and modeling, she helps children develop crucial life skills like empathy, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation—skills that will serve them well beyond their academic journey.
Aligning with our center’s faith-based mission, Faith naturally weaves Christian values into daily activities, helping children understand concepts like kindness, gratitude, and respect for others. She takes full advantage of our extensive outdoor facilities, ensuring children have ample opportunity to develop both gross and fine motor skills through nature-based play and exploration. This balanced approach addresses the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—preparing them not just for academic success but for life itself.
Bringing Specialized Support to A Child’s Touch
Faith’s role at A Child’s Touch extends beyond traditional kindergarten teaching. Her specialized training as a behavioral therapist brings invaluable expertise to our entire program. For children facing developmental challenges, Faith’s classroom offers more than just academic preparation—it provides a supportive environment where differences are respected and every child can progress at their optimal pace.
Her ability to implement evidence-based practices while maintaining a warm, nurturing atmosphere makes Faith’s kindergarten a truly special place. As part of our Christ-centered, non-denominational program, Faith exemplifies our commitment to excellence in early childhood education. She creates a seamless bridge between preschool and elementary school, ensuring children leave our center not only academically prepared but confident, curious, and ready to embrace future learning with joy and enthusiasm. In Faith’s capable and caring hands, your child will experience a kindergarten year that nurtures their unique potential while building the essential skills they need for success.
