Lori McCormick

Jr. Preschool Lead teacher

Hello Everyone! My name is Miss Lori, and I will be the lead Jr. Preschool teacher. I can't wait to meet all of our new students, and I am excited to spend time with our returning summer camp students as well.

I have a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and have been working in this field for over 30 years. While I enjoyed being home for several years spending time with my grandchildren and caring for my aging parents, I was excited when Heather offered me the opportunity to begin teaching again.

I am married to Darren McCormick, pastor of Central Christian Church. We have two children and three absolutely adorable grandchildren. I am a HUGE Cubs fan, and I enjoy swimming, playing the piano, doing needlework, and watching 2 yr. olds eat ice cream cones!

Thank you for entrusting your precious children to our care for their very first preschool experience. It is going to be a great year!
