I am honored to be entering my 11th year as Director of The Ark Preschool.  It has been a true blessing to serve our preschool families and watch hundreds of children learn, grow, and develop in a loving, Christian environment.  

Preschool is a great way to begin building a foundation of a child’s future.  My goal is to continue the excellent program that has been established at The Ark Preschool (55 years ago!), working alongside our dedicated teachers who faithfully invest in each child’s growth and development every day. Together, we strive to foster a joyful love of learning in a caring, Christ-centered environment that reflects God’s love and grace.

I look forward to establishing a partnership with parents and spending time each day getting to know your child in this special season of your child’s life.

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 planniqwq1ng our next family adventure.
