A Message From Our Director

Thank you for considering joining our preschool family. Providing a safe, developmentally-appropriate learning place where your family feels comfortable and where your child can thrive socially and academically is of utmost importance to our staff, and we consider it a privilege to do so.

Calvary Methodist Preschool has been a ministry of Calvary United Methodist Church for over 40 years. Our preschool board consists of preschool parents and church members who oversee the operation of the preschool and provide encouragement and support to the preschool staff.

My own five children (who range in age from 18-30) have all attended Calvary, and I’m looking forward to the day my grandchildren come on their first day. Though I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, I quickly realized after my first child was born that I wasn’t meant for that career. I went back to school at night for education and have been working with preschool-age children since 2003: as a coach at World Class Gymnastics, a teacher at St. Mary’s in Waterford, finally, at Calvary as an assistant, working my way up to head teacher then director. Not only have my kids attended, but I’m proud to say that two of them began their careers in education and the mental health field by working here.

I am very thankful to have the opportunity to spend my days with your children. I look forward to meeting you and your child. I am always available to answer your questions or discuss any concerns or ideas you may have.
