Our staff consists of highly qualified professionals who appreciate the opportunity to provide care to your children. Our goal is to educate your preschooler in a loving, Christ filled environment.  Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with our staff.

In early 2002 God gave me a burden for preschool families in our area.  At that time Rocky Creek did not have a weekday preschool program.  When I shared my heart with our Pastor he told me he knew just the person to make it happen.  Seven years later, I’m still here trying to find her!!

Watching God grow this program has been such a blessing.  We seek to honor Him in everything we do.

My husband John and I have three beautiful children.  Kinsley is 17 and is a senior at Mauldin High School.  Garrett is 13 and in 7th grade at Mauldin Middle and our baby Elizabeth is 6 and in 1st grade at Mauldin Elementary.  We also have two dogs, Chloe and Sobe.  We are all active members here at Rocky Creek! 

There is never a dull moment in our house!  When I do find a spare moment I enjoy reading and photography, and we spend time with our family every chance we get.  On Saturdays in the fall the only place I want to be is Where the Blue Ridge Yawns its Greatness…Where the Tigers Play!!!

I have taught 4 year old preschool for 9 years using the ABeka curriculum and am very familiar with the program and the great things it has to offer.  We will begin each morning with a group circle time where we will go over the activities of the day, update the calendar and weather, recite the pledge of allegiance and talk about our Bible story for the week.  From there we will begin our lessons for the day, create fun arts and crafts, try some cool class science experiments, practice socialization skills through guided centers (manipulatives, home living, reading center, computer center, art center, etc.) and end our classroom time with another circle where we will read, sing some serious as well as silly songs, review weekly Bible stories, etc.  Recess and lunch will complete our busy schedule.  Weekly, we will be going to chapel for a special Bible lesson  and Art and Music with Ms. Leslie.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to watch our sons play ball, reading and teaching, which is why I can’t wait to get the year started. I look forward to a great year with you all.
