Hi! My name is Ms. Amanda and I am excited to teach the Caterpillars class this year! I grew up in Statesville, NC. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. I earned my Master of Arts degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Biblical Counseling. I worked for 10 years in healthcare management before becoming a stay-at-home mom. My husband, Kyle and I have a daughter named McLain and a son, named Hudson. I am looking forward to a great year of learning, new adventures and fun!

I have been part of the preschool community for many years, first as a parent and, for the past four years, as a substitute teacher. Last year, I also had the opportunity to assist in the Caterpillars class, which made me even more excited to become more involved in the classroom. This preschool holds a very special place in my heart because both of my boys attended here. Having experienced it as both a parent and a teacher, I know firsthand what a loving and special environment it is for children to learn, grow, and make lasting memories. I truly enjoy getting to know each child and helping them feel loved, confident, and excited to come to school each day. I am so excited for another wonderful year! Outside of preschool, I love spending time with my husband, Luke and our two sons, Jack and Frank.

Hi, my name is Kelly Compton. This is my third year with the preschool. Before coming to work at the preschool, I worked as a TA for MGSD. Since retiring, I have been helping with my two grandchildren.

My husband and I have two sons, Brett and Curtis, with two daughter in laws, Becky and Molly. We have two grandchildren, Macie and Wyatt.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, camping, and spending time with family. Weekends usually consist of doing things with family, either at dance competitions, dirt bike races, and attending church.
