Meet our Teachers
Carolyn Meier, Director and teacher
This
is Carolyn's 23rd year of teaching preschool at Bethlehem. She began
in 1987 when her youngest daughter started kindergarten. Now she has
2 grandchildren who are in preschool themselves and 2 more who will be
one day, too! What a joy it has been to love and to teach many, many
boys and girls all about our God and His own son, Jesus! Carolyn has
degrees in Early Childhood and Elementary education. Besides her love
for children, Carolyn also loves her Calico cat, music of all kinds,
yoga and walking. She is also a leader in Bethlehem's Stephen Ministry
(care-giving) and Crosswalk (developmentally challenged adults) programs
