” I have been at Charity Preschool for 23 years. I have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. All 4 have attended Charity Preschool and loved their time there. When my children were in school, I always volunteered at their schools. I have always loved being with children. I still volunteer at Creeds Elementary School. I hope I can make a little bit of difference in a child's love of learning. There's nothing better than seeing the light in a child's eyes when they master a simple concept such as using scissors correctly. There is one thing better - when you get a hug from a child and an "I love you".“

“ I have worked at Charity Preschool for three fantastic years. I love teaching, specifically getting to see the light bulb go off when my little friends learn and experience new things. Teaching at Charity is especially wonderful because of our learning through play approach which allows the kids to learn in a way that is meaningful to them. I am so grateful to get to spend time with your beautiful children.

“I have been teaching at Charity for nine years. My kids went to preschool here and I knew this was where I belonged. What I love most about teaching at Charity is my ability to share the love of Jesus Christ with children.

In my free time I enjoy reading, gardening, and spending time with my animals.”

“ I always wanted a job that would make a difference. Charity Preschool became that place for me 13 years ago. Working with children is a joy. I love watching them grow and being a part of their lives, and helping them learn through play. It is so special to see a child’s face light up when they learn something new. The smiles and hugs are the most special gifts of all. What an honor to work with this special group of teachers.”
