She has a Bachelor's degree in Special Education from Georgia Southern College as well as a Masters Degree in Education from Texas A&M, Corpus Christi.

 Laura praises the Lord for the wonderful opportunity to serve at Lambs Christian Preschool and often states: "I can't help but smile when I am around the children and had no idea of what I was missing." Laura finds strength in the verses found in Jeremiah 29:11-13. "The children at Preschool pray and learn God's Word. They hear about hope and a future with Christ." states Laura.

Mary Melcher

Teaching Aide 

 Mary Melcher joined the Preschool staff in the fall of 1993. She has always had a great love for young children and can trace this love back to her teenage years as she spent many days babysitting and acting as a mother's helper.  Mary continued to take care of other children in the home while raising her own. She is married and has 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren.

Mary draws strength from the verses Romans 12:2 and Psalm 127:3. "The children are a gift from the Lord," states Mary. The Preschool is teaching them to renew their minds so that they may be able to discern the world around them through the lens of Biblical truth.
