“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 23 years. I have lived in Cary for 28 years and have three adult children. Kylie & Kelli (31) and Nico (26) who is an alumni of St. Barnabas. My dog Bentley (7) 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 nineth year at St. Barnabas and I am excited to start another new year! I have been a Cary resident for 24 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 third 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 21 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 37 years and our dog, Xena. I have two daughters Sarah (34) and Amy (30), along with two wonderful sons in law, JP and Ryan. My grandson John is 2 years old and is the “apple of my eye”. 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 8th 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 31 years with my husband Bill, where we raised our three children, Andrew 34, Alex, 32, and Nicole 30. As my children were attending school in District 26, I spent 9 years substitute teaching in the district. After becoming “empty nesters” I knew St. Barnabas was the perfect balance for me. I enjoy walking my Golden Retriever Ellie and new puppy Emma, reading, volleyball, and pickleball.
Miss Kristy
3’s & Terrific 2’s Teacher
This is my 12th year teaching the Terrific Twos class at St. Barnabas. I’ve lived in Cary for 20 years. I taught elementary school for 5 years before starting my family. I have 3 children Samantha (17), Nathan (15), and Jake (9). They all attended St. Barnabas.
Miss Ann Marie
4’s Assistant Teacher
This is my second 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 the last 21 years with our four kids, Ben (25), Josh (24), Nick (22) & Kaitlyn (18). Previously, I worked in the blended preschool for D26 and I’m looking forward to getting back into the classroom and spending time with all the kiddos.
