I am a Rock Hill native. I have been married to my husband Jae for 11 years and we have 2 beautiful daughters, Faith 10, and Natalie 6.

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 love being a part of the ODS team!

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 Bible 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.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I am so excited to join the ODS family as a 3k teacher! I live in Edgemoor with my fiancé and our 4 children. Zaide is 12, Daxtyn is 9, Nalani is 2, and Kyren will be 1 in October. I studied Early Childhood Education at Winthrop and have been a preschool teacher for 3 years. In my spare time I enjoy reading, traveling, sports, doing adventurous activities with my family, and trying new coffee shops.

Preschool is my absolute favorite age. I believe preschool sets the tone for how children feel about school in the future, so I strive to ensure my classroom gives each child the best experience possible! I look forward to a fun school year teaching your little ones to become confident, grow closer with the Lord, and learn new things to help shape their future.

My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the plans I have for you,"  declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

My name is Kelsey Woods, and I am from Rock Hill, S.C. born and raised. I have an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education and have been teaching for 9 years. I love watching children grow and develop over the school year. 

I am married and have two children. I also have three dogs at home that are my fur babies. In my free time I love to spend time with my family. We like to venture out to Carowinds, Big Air, and the movies. 

My favorite Bible verse is "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall no perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

I have lived in rock hill my whole life and actually grew up at Oakland Baptist Church. I have 2 sweet boys and an amazing husband. In our free time we love to play outside, garden, and take walks. 

I have always had a calling to care for and teach children. I started with volunteering with nursery here at OBC when I was in the youth group. I have now been teaching children for 5 years. I am so excited to be a part of the ODS family! One of my favorite things about teaching is watching each child learn and grow in their own way! 

My favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:6-7 - “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
