Susanne Williamas
Lead Teacher
I’m Ms. Susanne, and I am so excited to be at ODS as a 1 year old teacher! I have been married to my husband for 24 years and we have lived in Rock Hill for almost 3 years. We absolutely love the town of Rock Hill! We have twin daughters that are 21 years old.
​
I began teaching preschool in the 2 year old classroom when my daughters started kindergarten, moved to the 3 year old classroom for 12 years, and have been in a 1 year old classroom for two years. I absolutely love engaging this age with love, praise, and encouragement.
​
My favorite bible verse is “Be Strong and Courageous. Do not Fear or be in dread of them. For it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31.6
Jana
Kulikova
Assistant Teacher
I am originally from Slovak Republic, a little country in Europe. I’m married to my wonderful husband and we have 5 amazing kids. Emmanuel is 22, Esther is 8, Eliel is 7, Ethel 6, and baby Eva is 2 years old . I love working with kids because they are so innocent and pure! Working with kids has always been my dream! In my free time, I love to cook, bake and spend all my time with my family! We love traveling, hiking, and swimming.
My favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 41:10. "Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Brittany Terlinde
Lead Teacher
I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 11 years this Fall . We have three sweet kids and two cats. We are loving life at this stage with three littles to keep everything interesting!
All my life I have been around babies and toddlers, as my brothers and I are pretty spaced out and my mom also kept kids often. I started helping with pre-k church when I was in youth group and my love for littles has taken off ever since! I love working with toddlers because it is just amazing how much they are able to learn and grow in such a short amount of time.
I love 1 Samuel 12:16 - “Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do right before your eyes!” It’s a reminder that I need to take a step back sometimes and remember that God’s got this.
Grace Shim
Assistant Teacher
I am a Rock Hill native. I have been married to my husband Jae for almost 9 years and we have 2 beautiful daughters.
I was an elementary school teacher in South Korea. I was also a preschool Sunday school teacher for many years. Preschool is by far my favorite age to teach. I love watching these sweet children learn and grow.
I am so excited to be a part of the ODS team! My youngest currently attends ODS and she loves it!
In my free time, I love to bake especially with my girls. I am also active at my oldest daughters school. Whenever my family and I have a chance we go to the beach. The beach is our favorite place to visit!
My favorite memory verse is: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
â€â€Isaiah‬ â€41‬:â€10‬ â€NIV‬‬
