Meet Our Teachers

“I love working with children. They love learning and exploring … and they make every day such an adventure! The sense of accomplishment they feel when they figure something out for the very first time and their excitement is contagious.” |
Laura Bortz
"I love working in early childhood education, it is truly my favorite age as the children are so inquisitive and full of joy." |
Beth Dabney
"I like to explore different methods of creating visual works of art with my students. I enjoy seeing their pride in their creations. It brings me such joy to see them grow and learn." |
Amanda Dunlap
Melissa Fitzgerald
"The best part about being an early education teacher is that each day is brand new and the smallest things or accomplishments bring the most smiles. Each day is magical as children play and learn and make friends and appreciate the wonder of everything. Every moment is a teaching moment big or small". |

Cathy Ray
“The things I love about teaching are the children’s cheerful faces, hugs, and being a part of their early education. I think Erma Bombeck said it best, "Children make your life important.’” |
Alicia Smith
"The smallest of things brighten their day which in turn brightens mine. I couldn't be more grateful to work with young children and the amazing staff at Brandermill". As my grandfather always said, "To merit the love of a child is to taste the Divine." |
Sherry Smith
Lisa Taylor
"Working with children is such a joy! Watching them as they try something new for the first time and accomplish it, or share a toy with a friend, or comfort a friend when needed, it's all so fulfilling. It's the little triumphs that count! These young, developmental years are so important to their social and emotional well-being and I love being an essential part of that!" |
