Our Team

Lead Pastors of Citizen Church

Pastors Dustin & Mandy Woodward

On behalf of Citizen Church and our family we welcome you to Foundations Preschool. Our church’s mission is to partner with God and build the church among all people everywhere. We are overjoyed to reach another community in Albuquerque and establish Citizen North and Foundations Preschool with the same core values we believe in. We believe these preschoolers will be equipped academically, socially, and spiritually to enter grade school in their years to come. Above all, we believe that preschoolers will be a light in the city of Albuquerque and an example to their peers as they continue to grow and develop.

Principal

Our team has been working to create an amazing atmosphere for preschool students to grow spiritually, academically, and emotionally. I feel so honored welcoming and guiding our newest learners as they begin their first school experience. It is also an honor to partner with YOU, our wonderful community and families. Together we will collaborate to set your child on a strong foundation not only in academics but in the knowledge of Jesus Christ! Our goal is to provide a faith-centered, play-based learning environment that sets a firm foundation for lifelong learning and discovery. Here, they will develop independence and confidence as they learn school routines, foster skills in how to work well with others, and explore Bible stories to deepen their understanding of Jesus. Thank you for trusting us with your child!
