Meet Our Team.
This is the team of Freedom Co-op under the direction of Freedom Ministries PMA.
Ashley Painter
My major in college was early childhood education but my love for children started way before that. At 16 I was a nanny to three children ages 6 months to 7 years old, until the time I was 20 with a child of my own. I now have 4 children, two of whom still live at home. I have created youth group programs for churches. I have worked in the daycare setting and have been a foster parent. I have homeschooled my own children for over 10 years and graduated 2 successful adults. My passion is teaching children in a loving, safe, and truthful way.
Tristan Smith
I received a bachelor's degree in psychology with an emphasis in Child Development. I have worked with children in many capacities for 20 years. This includes teaching dance and art classes to all ages, teaching at local homeschool enrichment programs, in a preschool, volunteering at summer camps, tutoring and more. I have homeschooled my own two children for the past 9 years. I enjoy working with , teaching, and helping children in their development.
Jared Painter
Jared is the father to four Children ages 8-24. He's been a homeschool dad for 7 years. He coaches a local boy's football team. Jared is a part of our team to help encourage dads to participate in their children's education where traditionally moms have been the biggest influence. Dads matter!
