Teacher, Three-year olds

I am excited to be teaching this year at Bethlehem Angels Preschool in one of the wonderful three-year olds classrooms.  I am a native of Davie County and have lived on or “off of” Redland Road in Advance, as have multi-generations of my family.

Being a Mom to three adult children and a first-time “Shae Shae” (Grandma) are my biggest blessings in life.

While I am new to Bethlehem Angels, I am have been an early educational educator for nineteen years.  Watching children grow and accomplishing new learning skills in a school where God is the center of it all makes my teacher’s heart happy.

I feel very blessed to be a part of a fabulous teacm of educators and staff here at Bethlehem Angels.  God opened a door at just the right time, which is always His right time . . . “Thanks Be To God.”

This is my first year teaching at Bethlehem Angels Preschool, and I am excited about helping young minds prepare for kindergarten.
