I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! I can't wait to see how much our class learns and grows through all the amazing things we do! I am very blessed to be teaching at Living Lord Preschool for my third year. My husband and I have been married for 13 years and together we have 4 beautiful children (Kaiden, Audrey, Carson and Rylan.) Audrey and Carson were both part of this wonderful learning community, and I'm excited for the time Rylan will be able to join! For fun, we love to go to the zoo, spend time at one of our local parks, or even just hang out with our neighbors in front of a bonfire!

Our Facility and Classrooms
Living Lord's 12,000 square foot facility allows for great flexibility in usage of its open spaces and meeting rooms. The preschool uses the sanctuary for weekly chapel, utilizes the Fellowship Room for whole school events such as our Fall Festival, Sensory Fair, and birthday party for Jesus and uses the upstairs gathering space for large gross motor activities when the weather does not allow us to go outside.
Our three classrooms are light-filled and colorful and designed to promote wonder, curiosity and cognitive stimulation through a wide variety of sensory and learning centers, as well as introduction to SMARTboards.
