My husband, Mike, and I have been married for 24 years and have 6 children and 1 granddaughter.
I am a preschool teacher because I love children in general, but I favor the younger ones. They are just so fun and full of life and energy! I love the joy the children bring, and the way their eyes light up when they see you. The smiles on their faces first thing in the mornings, the giggles as they are getting ready to go home, the trust that they have in me, and the love they generate day in and day out - all these are blessings to me!
My favorite verse is "In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." John 14: 2-3

I have been married 51 years and have 3 children, 2 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild.
I am a preschool teacher because of my love for children. I feel that God gave me a gift of being able to teach and communicate with young children and that he placed me right where he wanted me to be many years ago.
I love the joy and gratification of working with and seeing these young children come in and learn to enjoy themselves in a secure, fun, and loving classroom filled with fun learning activities and imagination. I get the pleasure of watching, helping, and teaching these children to learn and grow so much in the 9 short months their parents share them with us. The children's minds are like sponges and I get to be a part of their first learning experiences. Seeing the joy on their faces is wonderful.
My favorite scripture is Psalm 23.

Lead Teacher
I'm a mother of 4 small children : Blake 7, Emma 5, Ellie 3 and Levi 1. I have an amazing husband Curtis who I have been with for 10 years. We attend Elevation Riverwalk and I'm the children coordinator there.
I was born in Rock Hill and grew up in Fort Mill. After I graduated from high school, I moved to Washington DC until spring of 2009. I moved back and met my husband, and we have lived in town ever since.
As a mother of 4, I believe our lives are in the hands of the littles we teach. If we want to see change in our world, we must be the leading force behind it.
It's my privilege to be able to teach children about Christ and develop appropriate life skills.
My favorite verse is "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:34

I am the wife of a police officer/paramedic, and the mom of 2 crazy kids!
I never imagined I would be a preschool teacher but it is without a doubt that God purposed me to be here and do His work. I love being able to love on these children, watch them grow and learn, and celebrate milestones with them!
My favorite verse is "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world!" John 16:33
