I love Jesus!  From a very young age, I was taught about Jesus and grew up in a Christian home.  Growing up in a minister’s family, I was given many opportunities and to grow in my faith, like working with kids in Church groups and directing VBS and Christmas Programs at the Church where my dad was the minister. These opportunities gave me a strong desire to work with kids.  I have been at JCS many years and I love that I am able to share my faith with each child that come into our preschool program. It is a privilege and an honor to share my faith with so many families at JCS. Some of the many things that I look forward to on any given day at preschool are hearing their prayer requests and watching them sing with all their hearts to praise Jesus.
