Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Mandy
Hi, I’m Mandy! I bring over 27 years of experience working with children, including six years teaching first grade, seven years in kindergarten, and 14 years of in-home childcare. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Bob Jones University.
What I love most about working with children is their enthusiasm—it’s contagious and inspires me every day! My favorite children’s book is Woolbur, and Christmas is my favorite holiday to celebrate.
One of our family traditions is having dinners together every Tuesday, which is a special time to connect. At home, we speak English and share our lives with a cat named Honeybee. In my personal time, I enjoy reading, making baby blankets, and baking.
I’m excited to bring my experience and passion to your child’s learning journey and look forward to a wonderful year together!
Ms. Radhika
Ms. Radhika has several years of experience working with children, primarily ages 3 to 4. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and enjoy being part of the exciting learning journey of young children. My favorite part of working with children is watching them discover new things, especially when their curiosity sparks genuine excitement and joy for learning.
My favorite children’s book is The Gruffalo, and my two favorite holidays are Diwali and Christmas. One of my favorite traditions is dressing up for Diwali and attending celebrations with my brother.
In our home, we speak both English and Gujarati. I also have a feathered friend at home, a conure with many different names, but I lovingly call her Birdie!
In my free time, I enjoy crafting with clay and coloring. I look forward to creating a positive, nurturing environment where children feel encouraged to explore their curiosity, express themselves, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Ms. Rhonda
I have spent around five years working in Early Childhood Education and three years engaging young minds at a Children’s Museum. These experiences have fueled my passion for nurturing curiosity and inspiring a love of learning in children. I hold a Master’s degree in Communication and a Bachelor’s degree in Literature, which enrich my approach to teaching and connecting with students.
What I love most about working with children is witnessing the spark of excitement when they learn something new. Those moments of discovery are what make teaching so rewarding.
Some of my favorite things include the children’s books The Book with No Pictures and The Snowy Day, the vibrant colors and crisp air of autumn, and celebrating Lunar New Year with its rich traditions. My family treasures the holidays, coming together every year to create lasting memories.
At home, I speak English and a little Vietnamese. While I don’t have any pets yet, it’s something I’m working on!
In my personal time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, baking, and exploring new restaurants.
I am excited to create a joyful and engaging learning environment where children can thrive, grow, and explore the world around them!
Ms. Mollie
Ms. Mollie has 13 years of experience working in an elementary school reading program (grades K–5), followed by 3 years in preschool and Pre-K childcare, I bring a strong foundation in early literacy and child development to the classroom. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education and am passionate about helping children build confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
My favorite thing about working with children is watching them grow and learn—seeing those “aha” moments never gets old! One of my favorite children’s books is Stand Tall, Molly Lou Mellon, a story that celebrates confidence, individuality, and resilience.
Christmas is my favorite holiday, and one of my favorite family traditions is preparing for Santa each year—it’s such a special and magical time. At home, we speak English and share our days with our 16-year-old dog, Rex, who has been a beloved part of our family for many years.
In my personal time, I enjoy reading, gardening, and sewing. I love bringing creativity, warmth, and encouragement into the classroom each day and feel honored to be part of each child’s learning journey.
