Lauren Kunau
Welcome to Pre-K at Lincoln Academy! My name is Miss Kunau (like UNO cards). I am a Colorado native and was raised in Arvada. For undergrad, I attended Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ, and finished with a degree in Early Childhood Education. After my brief stay in Arizona, I returned to Colorado to pursue my teaching career. I was overjoyed to get hired at Lincoln Academy after being a student here, myself! I have been teaching at Lincoln since 2016 and I have loved being a part of this community. I love being outdoors, drinking coffee, and shopping at Target and Amazon. I am a firm but loving teacher who cares deeply for my students. I have a passion for young learners and I am so excited about this school year!
