Founder, CEO, and Head Educator

Paige is a wife, mom of six, lifelong educator, and the original PB of PB&Jesus. Her passion for faith-based early childhood education has continuously grown right alongside her own children, as she homeschooled each of them through their primary years. Watching them discover their unique strengths and go on to thrive — consistently ranking in the top 1–10% of their classes — reaffirmed something she always believed: every child is gifted, and it’s our job as parents and educators to help them discover those gifts with joy and confidence.

Over the years, she developed Christ-centered teaching methods that not only strengthen early academic skills but also nurture character, creativity, and a love for learning. Her goal is to partner with families and create environments where children feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow into who God made them to be.

Through her Early Childhood Academy, she feels honored to help parents who want more than just education — they want a solid foundation. This foundation consists of faith, curiosity, and purpose that will serve your students for a lifetime.

Co-Founder, COO, and Curriculum Specialist

Chris is an Athletic Director and 5th Grade Math Teacher at a nearby Missouri Charter School with a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. He has a deep passion for helping students grow—not only in their academic abilities but also in their character and confidence. Over the years, he's had the privilege of improving his school’s math performance year after year by making learning both challenging and rewarding, a balance that his peers and administrators alike truly admire. Beyond the classroom, he serves as a mentor teacher through a Kansas City program that advocates for quality education for inner-city children—a cause close to his heart.

While his mission here is primarily covert, he has a vested interest in leveraging his expertise much closer to home with PB&Jesus. As a first-hand witness to Paige's spirit of excellence and innovation when it came to educating their own children, he is committed to supporting his wife in her calling to provide families with Christ-centered education, creating a community where faith and learning thrive together.
