success in Kindergarten in the 2022 - 2023 school year.

basic kindergarten readiness skills in literacy, math,
science, writing, art and music. We will challenge
children to think, solve problems, communicate and
investigate their world.

ATTENTION PARENTS: Please have your child’s
immunizations up to date, however, your child’s record

HEIDI GLAETTLI
Families and home schoolers welcome! Individuals
with a disability that require an assistant shall
pay for only the student. Due to occupancy limits,
please inform Recreation staff in advance when an
assistant will be attending. Contact the Recreation
office with questions, 208.455.3060.

Heidi Glaettli is a graduate of the University of
Idaho. She earned her degree in career and technical
education with an emphasis in family and consumer
science. She is the mother of seven active children.
Her family loves to eat her homemade whole wheat
bread. However, after she and her daughter were
diagnosed with celiac disease, Heidi was on a quest
to learn how to make delicious gluten free foods.
It continues to be an ongoing pursuit. With the
encouragement of her husband, she started a gluten
free business called the Cottage Kitchen. She enjoys
spending time with her husband and children, puddle
stomping, hiking, going for bike rides on the green
belt, gardening, baking, sewing, and embroidery.
Heidi likes to teach people skills that will enhance
their lives. She believes the best way to learn is for the   GLUTEN FREE PIE CRUST GLUTEN FREE NOODLES
