Children enrolled in Epworth Preschool & Daycare's full day program receive preschool education every day Monday through Friday. We have patterned our full day program after our preschool program and extended the day to include breakfast, lunch and naptime. We understand that children need lots of opportunity for physical activity every day so we have outdoor time twice a day on our playground -- weather permitting. When the weather doesn't cooperate, we have an indoor gym or activities especially designed to help children increase their gross motor skills. In addition, all children participate in our Music and Motion class each week during the school year. This is an opportunity for children to learn early music concepts, improve listening skills and participate in movement activities.

Our children also receive delicious and nutritious meals and snacks. The noon meal is hot and home cooked. Our snacks focus on encouraging our children to eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and grains. Be sure to check our monthly menu with the link at left.

Patsy Coffey has been our Lambs teacher for 14 years. She is the mother of two grown children and is currently enjoying her two grandchildren who are alumni of our program.

“I enjoy watching the incredible growth and development that takes place in the first years of a child's life. The first discovery of all their body parts and how they work as well as the bonding and trust developed with the child and their parents.”

Tracy Smith has been our Bunny Class teacher since 2000. She has an Associate's degree in early childhood from The Ohio State University.

“I enjoy watching the children try new things, and finally accomplishing tasks that they have worked on really hard.”

 

Amanda Holsinger has taught the Lion Class since 2003. She has a Bachelor's degree in early childhood education from The Ohio State University. She and her husband, John, have two children, Lleyton and Addyson.

“I appreciate the opportunity to be a consistent positive influence on the lives of the children in my class. Every day is a new learning experience for all of us. The growth and development in these early years is incredible.”

 

Amy Carr has been a teacher at Epworth since 1999. She has a Bachelor's degree in human development and family sciences with a focus on early childhood education from The Ohio State University. In her spare time she enjoys Bible study and collecting Tigger items.

Teaching allows Amy to enrich the lives of children and to prepare them for life's journey.

 

Tracy Fox has taught the Fox class for 20 years. She has a Bachelor's degree in education from The Ohio State University. She and husband Roger have three children: Alison, an Epworth alumni, Leah, a Dolphin, and Megan, a Fox.
