Preschool Director

Ms Suzanne

Hello ! My name is Miss Suzanne and I am beginning my 5th year as director at CrossRoads ! I am excited about how God has blessed our school at Hebron Baptist Church. I enjoy getting to know each student and their families during the school year. I am working with the staff to plan many enriching activities for your preschooler.

I have been married to by husband, Tim, for 20 years. We have three children: Carter (15), Kyle (12) and Nicole (8). I have lived in Hebron my entire life and have attended Hebron Baptist that long as well. It is exciting to direct a preschool at the same church which I graduated from kindergarten.

I hold a Master’s degree in elementary education from NKU. I have had experiences teaching in elementary schools, watching children privately in my home, coordinating the MOPS group at Hebron Baptist Church, taught children’s choir, children’s church, and chaired the children’s committee at HBC. All of these roles have played a part in preparing me for the director position at CrossRoads.

I look forward to meeting you !!

3 Year Old Class

Ms Kim

Hi ! My name is Ms Kim. I am so excited to be starting this year with CrossRoads as the 3’s teacher! I have worked with children of all ages for many years. But I have a special fondness for three year olds because for many, it is their first introduction to formal education. I love watching them bloom from uncertainty on that first day to eager curiosity as the year unfolds. My goal for your child is to fall in love with learning.

My husband and I have three wonderful children; Ryan, 25, graduate of Indiana University and a Music Video Director in Nashville, Tenn. Katie, 20, in college studying to be a Pastry Chef and is an assistant Pastry Chef at the Hilton downtown Cincinnati. And Rosie, 15, a sophomore in high school who loves reading, piano, and drama club.

Aside from my own children, I began teaching other children in Sunday School forever ago! For five years, I worked at a private Christian preschool and became the Spiritual Director there. I have a corporate background in Sales and did well there, but my heart much prefers working with children and I am delighted that God opened this door at CrossRoads for me.   

I am so looking forward to meeting you and your children.

Ms Jen

HI! MY name is Ms Jen and I am excited to be returning to CrossRoads. I will be the teacher's aide for the 4yr olds in the mornings and working with the 3yr olds in the afternoon classes.

My husband and I have been married for over nine years and love living here in Kentucky. We are originally form northeast Ohio. I look forward to another year of sharing Christian values with my students while preparing them for school.

Ms Rhonda

Hi everyone!  My name is Ms Rhonda and I will be Miss Kim’s assistant in the morning 3 yr old class.  I am so excited to meet each one of you.

I am originally from North Carolina and have been married to my husband Mark for almost 29 wonderful years.  We have four children—Marcus (26), Rachel (23), Jacob (21), Joseph (16), and two grandchildren—Abbi (1), and James (due in September).  As you can see family fills my life!

I attended Montreat College and NKU.  I was the coordinator of a Mother’s Morning Out program in North Carolina.  I homeschooled for seven years and was the lead teacher for the 4 yr old class at a private Christian school for five years.  I have also worked in the daycare setting.

My family and I are members of 7Hills Church and are actively involved in the “connect” groups and altar ministry.  I LOVE spending time with my family, gardening, reading, and any kind of crafts.

It is a blessing to be a part of your child’s education!!  It’s going to be a GREAT year at Crossroads!!

Ms Terri

Hi! My name is Ms Terri and I will be teaching the 4 year old class 3 days a week. Spending time with kids is one of the greatest blessings in my life, so I am very excited about the coming year.

I’ve been married to my husband, Brad, for 20 years and we have one daughter, Kelsey, who is 15. I attended both UK and NKU and have a BA in English Lit. When my daughter started to Kindergarten, I was blessed to be able to “retire” from my position as a corporate Credit Manager. I was a stay-at-home Mom for six years. Brad, Kelsey and I are all members of Hebron Baptist Church where I’ve taught Sunday school for the past 10 years (everything from 4 year olds through second grade). I also stay busy helping with Children’s Choir, painting and gardening.

I look forward to meeting my students and their parents. I know we will have great year together!

I have two children, a son that is in high school this year and a daughter that is attending middle school. I have been married for 24 years and also have a cocker spaniel dog. I enjoy tending to my flowers around our home, boating with my family at Norris Lake and traveling.

I have been involved as a Sunday school teacher, superintendent of Sunday school, VBS and a mom for 17 years. I have also run my own day care. I look forward to this exciting adventure in assisting your children’s development.

4 Year Old Class - 3 days per week
(Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday)

Ms Julia

Hi everyone!! My name is Ms Julia and I will be the teacher in the three day a week four year old class. I'm very excited to meet all of the boys and girls that will be in our class this year. We are going to have a fantastic year of learning and growing and getting to know one another!

I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with children in all aspects from being the director of a childcare facility, to being the children's minister for ten years at a Southern Baptist Church, to teaching preschool. I love children and I am thankful that the Lord has placed the ministry of children on my heart.

I have been married to my husband, Ryan, for 16 years and together we have been four amazing children....three boys and one girl!

I can't tell you how anxious I am to get this year started! I've been praying for you and your children all summer. I know the Lord has placed us together for a purpose and I'm thrilled to see how his plan unfolds. It's going to be an amazing year!!

Ms Jenny

Hello! My name is Ms. Jenny. I will be working with Ms. Julia in the 4 year old class. I am thrilled that the Lord is giving me the opportunity to work a second year at CrossRoads with you and your child.

I look forward to every day that I get to work with your precious child.

Spanish Program

Senora Hilda

HOLA! My name is Mrs. Hilda (Me llamo es Senora Hilda). You may call me Senora Hilda. I will be your Spanish Teacher! In the past, I have enjoyed substituting for both the three and four year old classrooms at CrossRoads Preschool. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from The Ohio State University whereby my major was Recreation Education. My Spanish skills enabled me to communicate well during travel for two weeks in Spain, one week in Costa Rica, Cartegena in Venezuela, several Caribbean Islands as well as the Yucatan Peninsula Region.

My parents came to the United States from the Netherlands. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and I grew up in a bilingual home learning both English and Dutch. Exposure to another language at an early age broadens a child’s learning base. A child learns more than words, he or she learns that there is a larger world out there than their own.

I visited family in the Netherlands many times which led to additional trips to Switzerland, Belguim, and Italy twice (love it!). I used my degree to enter the Cruise Travel Industry where I worked for sixteen years. My original intent was to work aboard cruise ships in Children’s Activity Programs. I turned to land-based opportunities when I met my future husband. I worked to become a Cruise Specialist selling cruises of all types to travelers. That led to moving to Cincinnati and becoming District Sales Manager for Holland America Line Westours and Windstar Cruises for nine years. My clients were travel agents. I enjoyed promoting cruise travel to worldwide destinations. My favorite components of the position were conducting sales seminars and teaching about the destinations and the products in multiple cities in the Midwest. I also loved taking groups of travel agents on trips to the Caribbean and Alaska. It was wonderful to combine my two passions of Education and Travel.

My husband’s occupation brought us to Northern Kentucky. I became a stay-at-home Mom about ten years ago. Reading, playing and exploring with my children were treasured times. Through substitute teaching and providing childcare, I rediscovered the joys of Early Childhood Development. I look forward to meeting you!
