About Us
New Hope Christian Preschool has been serving the youth of the Montgomery County community for over 15 years! At New Hope Christian Preschool, we believe every child is a unique gift from God, full of potential and purpose. Our mission is to provide a nurturing, faith-based environment where students can grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, and academically through hands-on learning and social activities.
Our preschool has a comprehensive approach to educating and enriching the whole child. Our curriculum is
play-based because play is the most appropriate mode for a young child’s learning. Our experienced teachers enable
each child to reach his or her highest potential and support children wherever they are on their learning path and
timeline.
Our low child-to-teacher ratios and small class sizes enable our teachers to:
-
Spend quality teaching time with each child.
-
Develop close child-teacher bonds of affection, trust, and respect.
-
Assess each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth, and work to achieve a learning environment for each child.
-
Work with children in small groups.

Hi there! I absolutely love spending time with my husband, Eric, and our three amazing kids—Blaine, Madison, and Mallory. We also have a spoiled Goldendoodle named Winston who keeps us entertained! My favorite color is red, and when it comes to food, I can't resist chips and queso or anything salty like popcorn. In my free time, I enjoy walking, reading, and spending quality time with my family. We love playing games together—it’s always a blast!
My favorite book is The Help, and I have so much fun trying new recipes in the kitchen. One of my favorite places to visit is Cape San Blas, Florida—it’s such a special spot!

Hi! I love spending time with my husband, Troy, and our wonderful family. We have four children—Jakob, Trevor, Sydney, and Emma—along with two amazing daughters-in-law, Monica and Mandy. We’re blessed with three grandchildren: William, Emersyn, and Leia, and we cherish every moment with them. My favorite food is pizza, and my favorite color is red. I enjoy relaxing with a good book, baking, and playing Euchre. Orphan Train is my favorite book. I also love traveling and exploring new places, but most of all, I treasure spending time with my family.

I’m married to my amazing husband, Mason, and we have two wonderful kids, Millie and Grayson. My favorite color is pink, and I absolutely love chips and queso. Crafting and cooking are two of my favorite pastimes, and Magna-Tiles are my go-to toy for creative fun. I adore the Llama Llama book series, and musicals always bring me joy. My favorite vacation spot is anywhere with a beach—I can’t get enough of the sun and sand. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which fuels my passion for working with children.

I have a wonderful husband, Andy, and three amazing kids: Jacob, Jenna, and Emma. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our dog, Buddy, and our cat, Tigger. My favorite color is purple, and I’m a big fan of Mexican food—it’s the best! In my free time, I love reading and riding horses, two passions that bring me so much joy. Last year, I read over 100 books! My favorite book, which happens to be a children’s book, is The Book with No Pictures by BJ Novak. I also enjoy a lively game of UNO—it’s always a hit.
For the past 15 years, I’ve owned my own business. Currently, I run a horse boarding barn and take care of all the horses. Spending time with them is one of my greatest joys.

I cherish spending time with my husband, Devin, and our son, Shiloh. Green is my favorite color, and I have a love for all kinds of food, though popcorn, cheesecake, and cookies top the list. I enjoy thrifting, and hunting for unique treasures. Play-Doh is my favorite toy, and The Dandelion's Tale is a book I hold dear. Our household thrives on fun and laughter, often pulling pranks on one another—Shiloh even creates his own pranks to surprise Devin or me!
We are excited to share that we accept CCDF Tuition Vouchers and On My Way PreK Scholarships!
we are proud to hold a Level 3 Paths to Quality rating and to offer a program guided by Early Learning Matters (ELM), Second Step Social-Emotional Curriculum, and Handwriting Without Tears. All of our teachers complete extensive professional development each year and hold either a CDA credential or a bachelor’s degree.
