STAFF

Hi! My name is Caroline Albright. Ten years ago I enrolled my youngest son, Austin, in the 3 yr old class here at CCP and, while he has long moved on, I can’t seem to leave! After substituting for 2 years, I became a teacher in the 2 yr old class. I have since worked with the 3 and 4 yr olds as well. The children continue to amaze me each and every day with their honesty, curiosity and excitement. We play, we laugh, we learn! I grew up in PA, have a BA from the University of Virginia and now live in The Woodlands with my husband, David, and our 3 wonderful sons, Drew (17), Ryan (15) and Austin (12).

Hi, my name is Kellie Chamberlain, and I am so excited to be an assistant with the three year old class this year.  I have previously taught  elementary school, and counseled, in Oklahoma, where I grew up.  I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a special certificate in Early Childhood.  I also have my MA in School Guidance and Counseling.

I have lived here in The Woodlands with my husband and five children now for eleven years! My children are Christopher, Ellie, Clark, Samantha, and Charlie.  We also have a little puppy and four cats.  We stay busy, but it is a good, enjoyable busy!

My oldest is a senior at College Park, and my youngest is in Kindergarten!

I love working with children, and have worked with them all of my life.  Children just bring a smile to my life.  They are so curious, creative, intuitive, challenging, and such a lovely blessing from God. 

I am hoping to have a wonderful year, while helping your child to develop

Hi, I'm Lisa Flores. I have worked at Christ Church preschool since 2007. I currently work in the Mother's Day Out program as the toddler / 2's teacher. I look forward to coming to work each day, as the kids in my class are the sunshine of my day. I love working with these little ones! It is wonderful to watch how they grow and change through the school year. I have been married for 16 years, and have two great kids of my own. We stay busy with the youth group at Christ Church, dance, Boy Scouts, and sports. We also love to take family trips and go exploring all over Texas.

Hi, my name is Carrie Glenn. I have been an assistant teacher at Christ Church Preschool for 5 years. Previous to my teaching at the preschool, I was a "Mom" at CCP. My two daughters', Emma (13) and Mia (10), both attended CCP as preschoolers. I cannot believe how fast our time at CCP flew by. My experience at Christ Church as a parent was so positive, I decided to come back and teach after my girls graduated from the preschool. Not only do I love working with the little ones because it reminds me of my children's preschool years at Christ Church, but I also enjoy watching the excitement on the children’s faces as they accomplish and learn something new. Every day is a new adventure and learning experience. Outside of teaching I love to cook, decorate and travel with my family. I have been married to my hubby Paul for 20 years. My family and I are all proud native Texans! Aside from our two daughters, we also have two other "girls"...a 11 year old yellow Labrador retriever, Jenny Lu, and and  a 9 year old Llewellyn setter, Molly Sue.

I am Sarah Kathleen Gray and I am the Assistant Teacher for the 4 year olds in Ladybugs.  I graduated from Oak Ridge High School in 2005.  From there I attended Sam Houston State University.  I graduated in 2009 with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre.  Before coming to Christ Church Pre School I had been coaching swim team for 5 years.  I coached over 250 children ranging in ages from 3 to 18 years old.  I also had been involved in Theatre for many years and worked with children to adults.  I have been a Nanny for two years while in college and out of college.  I have lived in Oak Ridge North for all of my life and loved every minute of it.  Besides working with children I really enjoy cooking, traveling and having new adventures with friends. 

Hi, my name is Terri Hadrick, I moved from Chicago a few years back and love living here in The Woodlands with my family.  My son, Mikey and daughter Shelby, both attended CCP but are now proud Deretchin Dragons.  My husband, Michael and I met at PurdueUniversity where I received my Masters in Education.  Since marriage and children, I have been blessed to have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom, but prior enjoyed working as a counselor with children, families, and adults.

This will be my second year on staff with CCP and I will continue to work as a co-lead for the 3's Frisky Frog class. It's so exciting coming to work every day to experience the joy of sharing God's love and learning new things through your children's eyes!
