Cris Bollengier is a wife, mother, and educator who is deeply passionate about passing on her love of learning to children. She started her career teaching Orientation & Mobility, as well as Adaptive Daily Living Skills, to people of all ages with visual impairments. She and her family had the unique opportunity to move to China for 4 years for her husband’s work. During their time there, Cris discovered her love of teaching elementary school, often substituting at a private American school.

Upon returning to the U.S., Cris was an elementary school substitute teacher in El Dorado Hills for 5 years.  Cris has been a Foothill Learning Academy K-3 vendor since 2017, bringing her enthusiasm, expertise, and heart for young learners to the classroom.

Outside of teaching, Cris enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and exploring new cultures.  When not working, you can find her reading, playing pickleball, or enjoying time with her pets.
