I feel so blessed and privileged to be the Director of The Ark Preschool.  I have worked in a Christian environment in the field of Early Childhood Education for over twelve years.  During my experiences I was an Assistant Director, Lead Teacher, and  Sunday School Teacher.  I believe that God has given me a passion for children and has led me to The Ark.  I have a deep desire to love, nurture, educate and inspire children.

Preschool is a great way to begin building a foundation of a child’s future.  My goal is to continue the wonderful program that has been established at The Ark Preschool and instill the joy of learning in a nurturing environment that reflects God’s love.  I am very excited to be a part of a great team of dedicated teachers who cherish and value the richness of Early Childhood Christian Education.  I look forward to establishing a partnership with parents and spending time each day getting to know your child.

When I’m not at The Ark (where most of the children think I live!), I stay very busy as mom of three little ones but also enjoy yoga, a good book and planning our next family adventure.
