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 !!

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.

Spending time with kids is one

I’ve been married to my husband,

six years. Brad, Kelsey and I
are all members of Hebron

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
have been married for 20 years
to my wonderful husband, Scott.
We have three lively teenagers:
Alisha (20), Brent (17) and
Bradley (15). We reside in
Hebron and worship here at
Hebron Baptist Church.
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!
