I have been blessed to teach at Ensign Learning Center for the past 11 years, and I absolutely love what I do. Since beginning my teaching journey, I’ve discovered that my greatest joy comes from helping children grow, not only academically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. In our classroom, I strive to maintain a peaceful and focused environment through strong classroom management, ensuring students stay engaged in meaningful learning and on the path of righteousness. Heavenly Father's gospel is woven into everything we do, helping students see how He is apart of all aspects of their lives. I always aim for 100% mastery, because I believe every child can succeed with the right support and encouragement. When children feel safe, respected, and spiritually nourished, they thrive. I look forward to another wonderful year as we work together to create a joyful, Christ-centered classroom where every child feels loved, supported, and inspired to become all that Heavenly Father has for them.

Hello! My name is LaDonna Kingston and I have been teaching since 2021. I am incredibly excited to embark on this journey with each of my new students this year. For me, teaching is not just a profession, but a passion rooted in fostering a love for learning and nurturing the unique talents within each student. Together, we will create a classroom community where respect, kindness, and curiosity are celebrated every day. I am here to support and guide my students through challenges and triumphs alike, such as gaining 100% mastery. I look forward to partnering with their parents to make this a year of meaningful connections and joyful learning experiences.

I love helping my students to have fun while learning. I get to express my creativity and bring it out in my students. Outside of school, I love spending time with my kids and grandkids. I also enjoy designing houses with secrets passageways and putting on events like plays and murder mysteries.

Worked at the school for 5 years.

Staff if the light.

I’ve always had a passion of teaching even when I was little kid. I absolutely love having the chance to help students be successful and to help them learn all that they can. I enjoy watching students grow and see what they are going to become. I have felt like I’ve been in kind of a teacher role my entire life, even at home, being an older sister that can help look out for the younger kids. I love spending time with my family and always want to leave everywhere I go a better place because I was there.
