A message from our new preschool director, Shaylynn Lucas

Hello Families!
I am very excited to join the Methodist Preschool family this upcoming fall; the teachers have
said so many wonderful things about the children and their wonderful families! Miss Julie and her staff
have built an amazing place together and I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to join this team.
Before we all meet, I wanted to share a little bit about myself.

I first started working with children when I ran a licensed daycare out of my home, I then joined a large
preschool center in 2005 and was there for 15 years. For five of those years I worked directly with the
children, then spent the next 10 years as the Center Director.

I chose to not return when the center reopened after covid, it was heartbreaking to leave but I have spent
the last 4 years homeschooling my son and it has been one of the best times of my life. My little guy will
be starting Sunnyslope school this fall, and I will be joining all of you! Can’t wait to meet you all!

With Love and Excitement,
Shaylynn Lucas
