Introducing...

Shining Stars Preschool!
I am starting my own preschool, and I couldn't be happier! Last December, I went to visit Lyndy Butler at her performing arts preschool, Talent Sprouts, and she really encouraged me to go for my dream and just do it. I love teaching! It brings me such joy, especially when I can teach my own children as well as other children I know and love. Every time it was my turn to teach joy school the last two years, I was so happy and in my element. So Wade and I started talking and planning, and we made it happen. It's been such an exciting process! Yesterday was my Open House, and I already have more than a dozen parents interested. I am keeping my class sizes small for more individualized learning and will be teaching 3 classes of 5 students each. Here are a few pics of the preschool. Fun, huh?

Good job for you Catherine!! You will do a great job! I wish we lived closer because I'd love to put Whitney in a good preschool. I don't trust the ones around here. Good luck!
