Sarah graduated from Indiana University, Ft. Wayne (IPFW) with a degree in Elementary Education and a Kindergarten Endorsement. She has found her calling in Early Childhood Education and has worked several years in the field. She loves to watch children learn, create, explore, and accomplish new things. She strives to create an environment for learning to be fun and truly believes that, “Play is the work of childhood," as quoted by Mr. Fred Rogers. She lives with her husband and two children in North Manchester.

Her goals for the three-year-old classroom are to establish a safe, secure, nurturing and stimulating environment for children. She hopes to help the children in her class thrive in their spiritual, social, motor, and academic development. She wants a child's first school experience to be a positive one, for them to learn of God's great love for them, and for the children in her class to develop a love of learning!
