Meet Amy Ponder, Preschool Director
“I have been blessed for most of my adult life to be able to work with children in one capacity or another. I felt the Lord calling me into full-time ministry with children, and after years of praying, God opened the door here at Greer First and I have loved every minute! My goal as Preschool Director is to point our children and their families to Christ. I believe in creating a loving atmosphere that builds children up emotionally and provides them with a strong educational foundation, preparing them for kindergarten. It is important for children to learn, but it is equally important for them to play, and we aim to create an environment where they can safely do both. We are not just a preschool, we are a family, and we treasure the time we have with your children.
I look forward to serving your family!”
Amy Ponder
