Director

How does your background support your work at Bee Loved? I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in family studies from Texas Tech University. I have worked in the early education field on and off since high school. Having acquired 10 plus years in a classroom. I was the two-year-old teacher at Bee Loved for four years, the assistant director for two years and am in my third year as Director of the school.

Name a role model who has inspired you in your career and why. Sharon Osborne, a close family friend and former owner/director of a school. I worked for her while in high school and during college breaks. During this time, I saw her grow her three-classroom school to a 12-classroom school. Seeing her love and dedication to the families made me want to pursue early education

Our mission is to provide the children in our community with a loving Christian setting; to offer a nurturing and encouraging environment; to guide children in learning about themselves, the world and God’s love; to build children’s self-esteem; and to see children, not as they are now, but as what they can become. What does our mission mean to you? That we are here to guide the children in our community through learning and Christian values. We are not only here to help the children but the whole family. Bee Loved is place where students and their families are respected.
