Little Sparrows Preschool

Our Teachers

Heather Cox, Director/Teacher

Heather holds multiple degrees in Teaching, Child Development, Human Development and Education. She received her A.S. degree from Rochester Community College in 1996, her Bachelors degree from Hope International University in Human Development and Education in 2001 and her Masters degree in Teaching with an Early Childhood emphasis in 2021.

Heather has taught Kindergarten and Preschool for over 25 years in some capacity. Heather began Little Sparrows Preschool in the fall of 2022 when she left her full time teaching position. It has been her dream to start a Christ-centered preschool where the love of Jesus is shared with children and their families. Her favorite thing about what she does is sharing her love of learning with the children she interacts with daily. It is a privilege and honor to have a small part in their educational journey.

Philosophy

Our onboarding philosophy combines a play-based, child-led Kindergarten readiness approach. In addition, our additional philosophy emphasizes creating a loving, Christ-centered environment where children learn through hands-on experiences and discover their unique purpose.

Location

We are located in the Kentwood area right off of 28th street near the Woodland mall.

About our program
