Meet The Team

I'm Miss Ashli, I am born and raised in Cheyenne, WY and I have a son named Beckett, who is my world. I have over 16 years of experience in early education. I've owned and operated a preschool endorsed facility, program and site director and coordinated multiple school facilities in Wyoming and Colorado. I received my certification and earned credits through Grand Canyon University.

I’m Mrs. Katie; I am originally from Colorado where I grew up on a ranch in the mountains. Some of my hobbies include: camping, fishing, hunting, and reading. I have been in childcare for many years. I knew shortly after starting that working with children, it was my calling and so I completed my bachelor’s in childhood education administration. I love seeing each child learn and grow and explore the world. As an administrator I want to advocate for the children and help them have the best foundation in learning before moving on to their next journey.

My name is Marti Young; I am originally from central Nebraska, where we visit family often. I have lived and just recently moved from Colorado, where I went to school, worked, and started our family.

I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two wonderful girls and a loving Lab named Tripp. As a family, we love to camp, play outside, and spend time with friends and family. I have 15-plus years of experience in a childcare setting. I was a Program Director and also taught Kindergarten Enrichment for many years for Douglas County School district’s Before and After Care in Colorado.

Hello Families, my name is Jessica Wunderly! I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of your child’s early learning journey and to watch them learn, grow, explore, and discover the world around them. A little bit about me: I am originally from Oregon but moved to Wyoming because of my husband’s military service. I have been working in early childhood education for a while now and have been fortunate enough to spend time with many wonderful children and families. I recently graduated from Arizona State University with my bachelor’s in early childhood education, and I am so excited to continue growing as an educator and putting what I have learned into practice. When I am not working with children, you can usually find me hiking, fishing, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with my husband and our puppy. I love being outside and making new memories with the people (and pups) I love most. I believe that every child is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. My goal is to create an environment where your child feels comfortable, excited to learn, and knows that they have someone cheering them on every step of the way. I am looking forward to getting to know your family, learning about what makes your child special, and making lots of wonderful memories together. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of such an important time in your child’s life. I can’t wait to get to know all of you!

Hi there! My name is Emma Kellar, and I will be the JR Pre-K B teacher here at the Schoolhouse! I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Elementary Education in 2022, and I have worked with 3-6 year olds for the past 8 years. If I am not teaching, I enjoy camping, sudoku, painting, or spending time with my cat, Todd! I can’t wait to see what this year holds, and I’m excited to explore this adventure with you all!

Hi I’m Mykennah Malin, I go by Kennah as it’s easier for kids to say and what I’ve been called most of my life. I am 18 years old and going to college to be a preschool teacher. I also love animals and have a cat of my own who is my world. One day I hope to have an animal in my classroom when I am a teacher in the district. I also love kids and that’s why I want to become a teacher. Kids are fun to work with and bring light to my day. I hope to help them grow, learn more, and have fun. I am a country girl and I can be quite shy and quiet but I love working with kids because they make it so I’m not as quite as I normally would be and also making it so I learn new things and get to do new crafts and projects with them and helping them learn new things.

Hi, my name is Ms. Christina Yeley-Ritter.

I am the new Jr Preschool Teacher, here at The Schoolhouse! I am very excited to be here and to learn with and teach your little ones! I've been in childcare/child education for a little over 7 years now, which has given me the pleasure of working with all age groups. I find it is my passion to work with kids and help them grow and learn new things everyday! I love all subjects of learning, even though I tend to venture more towards arts and STEM the most. Even though I am originally from Oklahoma, I have resided in Wyoming for about 10 years now. I have a son of my own and love watching him, as well as others grow into their own little personalities and can't wait to see how they all advance! I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and cooking. I also enjoy camping and hiking with my little family! Thank you for welcoming me on board! 

My name is Wendi Power, and I am the Kindermusik Teacher! I have my bachelor’s in music education from the University of Wyoming and I’ve been teaching for 10 years. It’s a pure enjoyment to sing, play and dance with your littles in Kindermusik class!
