“It brings me so much joy to watch a preschooler become an independent and self-sufficient kid.”
Being a part of a child’s spiritual and educational growth is something that I consider to be a great privilege and responsibility! It brings me so much joy to watch a preschooler become an independent and self-sufficient kid.
I am a Mobile native and received my accounting degree from the University of South Alabama. I worked for 10 years in various accounting jobs with a focus in administration, bookkeeping, and budgeting. After staying home with my son Jackson for 4 years, I started teaching at a local mom’s day out program.
Since then, I have fallen in love with preschool ministry. Celebrating the small daily successes to the major milestones and everything in between is the most fun! I am honored you trust us and look forward to making this an amazing experience for your child.
