Our Teachers

I have had the privilege of teaching for the past 10 years in the Ferguson-Florissant School District. During this time, I have gained invaluable experience in early childhood education and developed a strong passion for working with and caring for children. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Care and Education, along with a Teacher Assistant Certificate.

In addition to my professional experience, I serve as the Sunday School Children’s Leader at my church, where I have the opportunity to integrate my faith into the lives of young learners. This role has deepened my understanding of the importance of nurturing children not just academically, but spiritually and emotionally as well.

From a very young age, I have felt a calling to work with children, and I have always dreamed of eventually owning and operating my own daycare. I truly believe that God has placed this passion in my heart, and I am dedicated to fulfilling this calling through my work in education.

I would be honored to bring my experience, passion, and faith to Heathers Christian Academy, where I can continue to foster a positive and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn.

Philosophy

We are committed to providing a safe, loving, and educational environment for your child. As a faith-based daycare, we in incorporate Christian values into all of our programs. We believe that each child is a unique gift from God, and we strive to nurture their spiritual, emotional, and academic growth.

We’re in the Ferguson area. We have access to the Ferguson Library and Bermuda Park. We are a few blocks away from Steam Academy High School.
