“We are not a team because we work together…We are a team because We are Family!”
Miss Kathy
Director
I am so blessed to be a part of St. Barnabas for the past 24 years. I have lived in Cary for 30 years and have three adult children all who have been married within 14 months of each other. Kylie & Kelli (32) who married Dylan & Zak, and Nico (27) and his wife Morgan who are alumni of St. Barnabas. My dog Bentley (8) is a Pit Mix and is our “handsome boy!” Cary is an amazing community and the ladies I work with are not only my friends but my family as well. I’m looking forward to an awesome year with your children!
Miss Chris
Administrative Assistant
This is my 10th year at St. Barnabas and I am excited to start another new year! I have been a Cary resident for 25 years. My husband Bill and I have 5 children and 9 grandchildren. My youngest daughters attended St. Barnabas and my love for the preschool started back then. I am a member of St. Barnabas Lutheran Church and have been on various committees. In my spare time I love to kayak, spend time with my family, and shop.
Miss Susie
4’s Teacher
I am super excited to be teaching at St. Barnabas for my fourth year! St. Barnabas is near and dear to my heart as all five of my children have attended this school. I am an alum of Purdue University and I have lived in the FRG/Cary area for the past twenty two years. I enjoy watching my kids play sports, hiking, building friendships, and pretending to craft with my Cricut. St. Barnabas is more than a school – it’s a family and I’m so thankful to be a part of it!
Miss Sue
4’s & Pre-K Teacher, Assistant Director
I am blessed to be starting my 26th year at St. Barnabas Christian Preschool. I live in Cary with my husband of 38 years and our dog, Xena. I have two daughters Sarah (35) and Amy (31), along with two wonderful sons in law, JP and Ryan. My grandson John is 3.5 years old and Levi is 4 months old. I am honored to work with this incredible staff and know it will be an amazing year!
Miss Liz
3’s Teacher
I am so excited to be starting my 9th year at St. Barnabas. Our nurturing and talented staff as well as our families makes coming to work such a joy! I have lived in Cary for 32 years with my husband Bill, where we raised our three children, Andrew 35, Alex, 33, and Nicole 31. After becoming “empty nesters” I knew St. Barnabas was the perfect balance for me. It’s been a busy year with three weddings and a first grand baby on the way! I enjoy walking my Golden Retriever Ellie, reading, volleyball, and pickleball.
Miss Kristy
3’s Teacher & Terrific 2’s Teacher
This is my 2nd year teaching the 3’s and my 13th year teaching the Terrific Twos. I’ve lived in Cary for 20 years with my husband Dan. I have 3 children Samantha (18), Nathan (16), and Jake (9) and our Labradoodles Bode & Charlie. I taught elementary school for 5 years before starting my family. St. Barnabas feels like home. I’ so thankful for our wonderful families and amazing co-workers who make each day so fun!
Miss Ann Marie
4’s Assistant Teacher
This is my third year at St. Barnabas and I feel very blessed to be a part of the wonderful team here. My husband and I have lived in Cary for 22 years with our four children, Ben (26), Josh (25), Nick (23), and Kaitlyn (19). Previously I worked in the blended preschool at District 26 and I’m looking forward to spending time with the kiddos.
