Krista Yutzy-Burkey

Krista Yutzy-Burkey (she/her/her) is the owner, director and creator of PlayArts. Krista is a veteran teacher, having taught for 16 years in the Philadelphia school system prior to opening PlayArts. She holds a degree in music (harp) from Goshen College and earned her K-12 Music Education certification from Eastern University. She received her love of early childhood education from her mom and her entrepreneurial spirit from her dad. These days, Krista spends less time teaching, practicing and making music, but loves her role as a business owner and manager of the world's greatest staff. When she's not at PlayArts, you can find her playing card games or reading with her son, Milo, or planning dinner parties with her ever-talented husband (and PlayArts designer/builder!), Steve.
