    Mrs. Long

    Program Director/Lead Teacher

    Mrs. Long and her husband Jeff have been blessed with two wonderful adult children and a grandchild. She loves to discover new bike trails with her family, as well as knit and crochet.

    Mrs. Long has been a teacher of children and adults for 30 years, specifically preschool for over 13 years. She is IMC MACTE certified. She also holds a BA in Music/Music History, an AAS in Early Childhood Education and a certificate in Early Childhood Reading (based on the Science of Reading) from the American Montessori Society. As a teacher, Mrs. Long prays that she will guide children to learn Biblically who they are, where they came from and what their purpose is in this world. Seeing the look of excitement as the children discover something new about God's creation is a precious benefit of sharing a classroom together. Connecting with families is also important, and Mrs. Long strives to keep parents a part of the learning process as well.

    "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
