      <image:caption>I have been married to my loving and faithful husband for 28 years. We have two children ages 20 and 16. Both of our children attended preschool here and we have been very blessed by the preschool ministry. Both the preschool staff and the church staff and families are very friendly and welcoming. When we are vacationing we enjoy the mountains or a relaxing day at the beach. We value our precious family times when we can all get together. I love to bake, try new recipes, walk, swim, gardening and making simple crafts. I have had the blessing of being with The Neighborhood Preschool since 2000. I have worked in various roles as a teacher here. I have also had the privilege of serving as a Director in the past, at my home church, back in Iowa. I am blessed to be a part of many families’ lives and seek to encourage and build up each family that we serve, daily. I love to teach the children that learning is fun and that even as adults we are still learning new things. I especially love it when we present God’s Word through Bible Stories, and in our love and actions towards one another and the children show signs of comprehending this great love! One of my favorite Bible Verses is Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of that which we do not see. God has certainly grown my faith over the years and through many hard times. I am very thankful for God’s Word &amp; dear friends and family, who have shared their faith and God’s love with me, to help shape me into the person that I am today! I praise God for the opportunity to bless others, as He leads.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cheri Faulkner, Teacher About me … I am so blessed to have grown up in a family, that loves and serves the Lord. I came to Christ at a young age, and daily try to recognize each small mercy as a reminder of God’s great care. The Bible passage that encourages me is Matthew:28-30 (So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?) About my family … I live with my husband, two children (sort of), aged 19 and 16, 2 cats, and 1 dog. As a family, we share the love of music - both listening and playing. Life is busy, and when I'm not at school I spend lots of time in the car. If not chauffeuring, I might be found doing something crafty or reading a book. My preschool experience … I have been with Neighborhood Preschool since 2006. I taught in the 2’s and 3’s for 6 years, then moved to the VPK class. After 5 years in VPK, I had the opportunity to come back to my beginning - the 2’s and 3’s. No matter the age, I love watching the personalities that develop, and all of the learning that happens in these years. I am privileged to be here, and hope to share a little of Jesus’ love along the way. My youngest attended TNP, and still has great memories of her time here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Heather Tindel, Teacher I was born in Orlando, Florida and have two older brothers. My parents raised us in a Christian home and I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 5. I was homeschooled K-12th grade. My family started to attend Neighborhood Alliance Church in 1996. After high school I became a nanny. I worked for one family for 4 years and another family for about a year. I have been working at The Neighborhood Preschool since 2012 as the Aftercare teacher. I also worked as a teacher's assistant in the two-year-old class for a year and the three-year-old class for two years. In 2017, I became the lead teacher of the three-year-old class. Taking care of young children is my passion. I started volunteering in the nursery and Vacation Bible School at church in middle school. I also volunteered at The Neighborhood Preschool once a week for several years in middle school and high school. I worked as an AWANA Cubbies leader after high school and I am currently volunteering for the Kids Wednesday Night program at church as well the Kids Sunday School program. My favorite Bible passage is I Corinthians 13. I strive to show Christ’s love to all the children that come under my care.</image:caption>

During my time working here, I have loved working with the children, meeting their wonderful parents and families, and working alongside the teachers. I know this will be a great year, with many to come. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have been a part of The Neighborhood Preschool family since 2023. I have enjoyed getting to know the staff, parents, and children. I have been teaching for 20+ years. 15 of those years has been in VPK. I was the children's director of my church for 11 years. Watching children grow emotionally, academically and in their love for Jesus is what I enjoy the most and is a passion of mine. I enjoy spending time with my family at the beach. I am married and have two adult children. I look forward to a great school year and getting to know all the wonderful families that will walk through The Neighborhood Preschool doors. A scripture that has always encouraged me especially in times of uncertainty is Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord" plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is my second year at The Neighborhood Preschool. I taught VPK for 10 years up in New York state before moving down to Florida and becoming a sub. I enjoy working with children and seeing them grow and develop to their potential. I also teach a 2 year old Sunday School class every week.     I am married and have 4 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I enjoy reading, walking and gardening in my free time. I get together with my ladies' Bible study when I'm not subbing and I enjoy my time in God's word corporately in group study and in individual study. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."</image:caption>

I worked as a director for over 17 years.  I also volunteered in the church as a Sunday School teacher, Choir Leader, Vacation Bible School Leader and Choir Camp Leader among helping in other various ministries for over 17 years. It is a blessing to watch these young children grow in learning about Jesus, emotionally and academically.

I have over ten years of education experience ranging from Special Education to Teaching English as a Second Language. I've taught a variety of children ages 3-21 years across multiple continents. Neighborhood Preschool holds a very special place in my heart because this is where my faith has grown and flourished into what it is today. I couldn't be more blessed to have the opportunity to be your child's foundation in their education.  “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.” 1 Corinthians 3:10</image:caption>

Even after moving on to kindergarten, we stopped several times to say hi, get/give hugs and pray together. I used to teach Sunday and was a live in nanny for several years. I have always loved working with children and helping them reach those precious milestones.  Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not boast, it is not proud.  1 Corinthians 13:4</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Since my daughter attended VPK at Neighborhood Preschool in 2023, I’ve been blessed to be part of this wonderful church family. I am bilingual, speaking both English and Arabic, and bring a love for language, culture, and creativity into everything I do. As a seasoned mom, I fill our days with music, storytelling, and content creation that inspires learning and joy, always grounded in faith. I treasure family time, especially by the water, and you’ll often find me surrounded by children at any social event. Working with kids has been a lifelong calling, from my teen years volunteering, babysitting, and assisting in elementary classrooms, to now serving in a preschool setting. I am a devoted wife and mother who values tradition, culture, and the guiding truths of Scripture. My teaching journey is anchored in the wisdom of Psalm 22:6, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” It is my joy and mission to help nurture young hearts with love, patience, and purpose.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My name is Alta Ferguson. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for over 21 years. I am the mother of two sweet boys. I was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to Florida around the age of 11. My husband and I moved to this area in 2008 to serve at a local church. I have served in the education field for nearly 20 years in various roles. One of the main reasons that I love teaching is the joy of seeing students grasp the concept of whatever topic is being taught. I look forward to serving here at Neighborhood Alliance Preschool.  “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2001, my granddaughter, Amanda Sievers, began attending The Neighborhood Preschool (TNP). Having recently retired after 23 years of teaching, I missed the daily interactions with children and decided to volunteer at TNP. Even after Amanda and my grandson, Garrett, graduated, I couldn’t bring myself to leave. For over 20 wonderful years, I was privileged to be part of the TNP family, witnessing countless young boys and girls thrive in its nurturing environment. At the end of the 2022-23 school year, I had to step away due to my husband’s declining health. However, I am grateful to have the opportunity to once again be a small part of this amazing preschool and its fantastic teachers and staff. Sometimes trusting in God is a real challenge because I don’t always like the paths He has chosen for me. Then I remember how His faithfulness blessed my life and, when I look back, I can see that He has never ignored my prayers. Praise the Lord! “I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you, I will sing praise to your name, O Most High” Psalm 9:1-2</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have always loved working with children, and was so excited to join The Neighborhood Preschool family in 2013. I assisted in the three year old class for two years before becoming the lead teacher for one year. My husband joined the Army in 2017 and we have been a bit transitory for the last few years, but I am so glad to be back and a part of the TNP family again. A verse that has grounded me through some of our family’s recent life changes has been Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.”</image:caption>
