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 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul: He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake".

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 9 years and we have an 8 year old daughter, a 4 year old son, and 2 crazy cats so far!
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 preK 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.

I have been married to my high school sweet heart for 11 years. We have been blessed with 4 beautiful children ages 10,7,6, and 7 months. I grew up in rock hill but moved to clover 3 years ago.
I have always had a special place in my heart for children. I have worked with children of all ages since I was 15 years old and have found the preschool ages to be my favorite. I enjoy watching their eyes light up with every new thing they learn and seeing them grow through out the year.
My favorite things to do are going to church and spending time with my family. I have developed a passion for fitness and nutrition over the past few years. I also work with the preschool age children at my home church. I love teaching them about the love of our Lord and watching them develop a love for Christ as well.
My favorite bible verse is, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23
