Dr. Ryan Lee

Imagine Christian Preschool Founder & Director

Hi, my name is Ryan, and I am the founder/owner of Imagine Christian Preschool in San Jose. I grew up in the South Bay and met my beautiful wife in 2015. Then, we had 2 children. Now, we’re starting a preschool!

My earliest memory of being in education was when I was a freshman in high school, and I became a Sunday School teacher. That initial joy and love for teaching led me to San Jose State for my BA in Child Development and a master's in education from Santa Clara University. Finally, I got my doctorate in Education at USF. You can tell I really love learning and being in a school environment.

In my many years in education as a teacher, principal, and preschool director, I realized something was missing. The freedom to teach God’s word and to fulfill the Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” (Matthew 28:19). I saw a great need to provide high-quality care and education for preschool-aged children, all while spreading the Gospel! So, I created my own school.

Rebekah Lee

Imagine Christian Preschool Co-Founder

Hi, my name is Becky Lee. I was born and raised in Queens, New York, and moved to the Bay Area in 2015 after marrying my wonderful husband, Ryan. We have two beautiful children. I love living here in sunny California!

As a child, I always knew I would be a teacher. I often played school with my cousins, tutored at a young age and taught Sunday School at my church.

I attended New York University and received my bachelor's in childhood and special education and my master's in early childhood literacy. I taught sixth-grade math with the New York City Department of Education for 9 years, and now I am currently in my 7th year of teaching kindergarten at a school in Santa Clara.

When I first became a kindergarten teacher, I did not know what to expect. And now after 7 years, I have completely fallen in love with teaching young children! Witnessing their growth and transformation has been an incredible experience, so I can’t wait to help our students at Imagine Christian Preschool learn and grow together.
