Meet Our Staff

Hello, I'm Kelly Richardt

About me- I have been fortunate to work with children for over 40+ years.  The last twenty-five years have been with the Farmington Parents as Teachers program as a Parent Educator.  It has been so rewarding to me.  Going to work in the morning to do what I love is still something I look forward to.

Hello, I'm Lori Lindsey 

About me- I have been a Parent Educator for the Farmington Parents as Teachers Program for nineteen years and have over 30 years experience working with children.  I have found my work to be an enduring source of inspiration and fulfillment. The opportunity to partner with such exceptional families and children has been a privilege, and I am eager to continue this work with families in the years ahead. I have two beautiful children and an adorable dog named Aspen.  

Hello, I'm Lori Will

About me- I have been with Parents as Teachers for nine years and have enjoyed every minute.  Working with my families and their children is my passion, and I am fortunate to do this every day.  In my personal life, I have a wonderful husband of 27  years and two college-age children, as well as one fur baby.  We enjoy spending time together, traveling when possible, and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals!

Hello, I'm Charlotte Hopkins

About me-  I started working as  Parent Educator over 30 years ago, and later worked as a Special Education teacher.  When I retired, I got the opportunity to return to the Farmington Parents as Teachers program.  I love going into homes and supporting  our families and children.

Hello, I'm Kim McCain

About me-  I have been fortunate to work for the Farmington Parents as Teachers program since 1997.  I have had several different responsibilities during this time.  Most of my time now revolves around working with families and doing home visits, but I also find time to help with the screenings and office work.

Hello, I'm RayeLynn Sutherland

About me- I have been in childcare since 1982. I first started working at my church daycare center as a substitute teacher when I was 16 years old. From there I have gone on to work at about a half dozen other daycare centers, preschools, and have offered in home child care. As of March 2023 I began working as a Parent Educator for Parents as Teachers. 

We are lucky to have Joy Wimmer, Paula Asher and Carol Kocher (all retired teachers) be an important part of our screening team.  These ladies go to every childcare and preschool in our area and offer a free developmental and health screening to any family that would like their child to be screened (ages 3 months to 5 years old).   For more information, visit our screening tab and contact Kelly Richardt at krichardt@farmington.k12.mo.us or call 573-701-1300 ext. 2913
