"I love teaching preschool because I like getting the children excited about their first school experience and teaching them about God's loving ways."

Favorite Preschool Activity: My favorite activity is hard to choose! I love playtime and the interaction, along with art time and seeing their creations. I enjoy reading stories and....oh! I LOVE hugs!

"I love teaching preschool because of the innocence of the children and the wonder they display in learning new things. This includes those moments when the "light bulbs" go on as the children begin to understand a new concept. I love the energy the children create and how we learn from each other. Those times are priceless!"

Favorite Preschool Activity: My favorite activities are the "hands on" activities we do in class - such as science experiments and exploring the wonders of Gods creation. I find it meaningful to learn about the children. It is a privilege to pray for each one and, in turn, watch them learn to pray for each other.

"I love to teach preschool because it truly is a joy to help children understand the importance of the "little things" that really matter in life. They learn to listen, take turns, use good manners and always be kind to others. It’s also a privilege to show them how much God deeply loves them."

Favorite Preschool Activity: I enjoy "story time." It's fun to see the children's eyes light up when they act out Goldilocks and the Three Bears or What's That? (a story to help them not be afraid of the dark). It's also fun to teach the children an appreciation of music through new songs, with actions, instruments, and dancing!

"I love teaching preschool because I enjoy working with the High 5’s and watching them learn new concepts. I always look forward to the funny stories they share!"

Favorite Preschool Activity: I love to make classroom books with the children. It is wonderful to see how creative each child is and to help them discover the joy of creating art!

We can't wait to meet your child!
