“Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” – Colossians 2:7 NLT

Our Carman Pre-Kindergarten program starts at the roots of academic, spiritual and physical growth preparing students to excel in Kindergarten and beyond.

We offer a hands-on bible based curriculum. All of our pre-academic skills are centered around a monthly bible theme, and to take the learning one step further we incorporate the outdoors.

I believe that children learn best by experiencing the world with all their senses. We actively explore God’s creation in our dedicated nature space, because learning takes place in and out of the classroom.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” – Ps. 25:5

Kindergarten is such a special time for students and their families. As students begin their formal school career it is my privilege and responsibility to build a strong foundation that will enable students to be successful, not just academically, but spiritually and socially as well. Building positive relationships with my students and their families is not just an integral part of my success–it is the best part of my job!

I am passionate about creating a warm, joyful, and supportive classroom environment where students not only master academic standards, but also learn empathy for others, a respect for diversity, and the tenets of Christ-like behavior. Because I know that students learn a great deal through the example of others, it is my mission to model these positive attributes every day.

From an early age I believe that it is critically important for students to understand that they are able to grow, change, and learn from mistakes–I strive to instill the values of optimism, empathy, flexibility, resilience, and persistence which will not only help my students become successful in school, but successful in life! I am committed to identifying the needs and interests of my students so that I can differentiate instruction to provide each student with the support they need to meet their goals.

Ministering to students and their families is an obligation that I take seriously and enjoy tremendously. I look forward to the opportunity provide each student with a caring, academically-rigorous, Christ-centered kindergarten experience where they will grow and develop their talents and gifts.

Mrs. Holland |  1st Grade

Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies

Certified by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventist, Level Standard

1st Grade Supply List 2021-2022

Learning can indeed be fun! My goal is to make learning memorable for my students. This can be done many ways. I was told once, “What your hands do, your brain will remember”. This is why I enjoy incorporating music and movement into lessons wherever possible. I also want my students to know that anything is possible! One of the first rules in my classroom has always been: Can’t is not an option; always try. This is based on one of my favorite scriptures Phil. 4:13 that states: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”. I want to build my students’ confidence and belief in themselves. When they believe they can, they will. That is my goal!

I am excited to be a part of the Carman Family as the 3rd & 4th grade teacher.

I like to present learning to students in a way that makes learning fun and exciting.  I want students to apply what they learn and be ready to share their learning experiences with others. 

We are reminded by Paul that we should, “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” Philippians 4:4 KJV

It is my prayer that we will be able to rejoice and not be weary as we travel along this educational road together.

I am so privileged to have been called by God to be a teacher. Every day is an opportunity to connect with my students academically, socially, and spiritually. Eighth grade is the last stop before high school, and I strive diligently to prepare my students to be ready for that next big step in their lives.
