Ms. Stevens holds a Masters of Education from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Bachelor of Science from Benedict College.

Ms. Foster recently graduated from North Carolina State University with a BA in Spanish Languages and Literature and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). She first wanted to become an educator when she was in the 10th grade and helped someone learn English. That experience sparked her interest in education. One thing about working with children that she enjoys the most would be that they have a sense of wonder about them that allows them to dream big.

He is currently a Senior in High school. He’ll be attending college in the Fall of 2023 and majoring in Nursing with a double minor in Education and Business. Later, he plans to earn a Master's Degree in Nursing and to become a Nurse Practitioner. The primary reason that he got into education was to see how well he would be able to work with children. The hope is that this experience will help him determine if pediatrics would be a good fit as a future nurse. For Jhoel, the best part about working with the children is learning from them, learning about their day, their favorite activities, thoughts, etc.
