Faith Roberts

Tell Us About Your Family: I’m a Southern girl who’s been married to a Southern boy for the past for the past 25 years. We have a high school-age son, a middle school-age daughter, and a puppy named Dixie.  

Favorite Things: I love Jesus, sweet tea, flip flops and football.   

Education: I hold a master’s degree in Early Childhood, as well as a National Board Certification.   

Proudest Accomplishment: During my career, I was selected Teacher of the Year for the State of Alabama. 

Previous or First Job: I taught preschool and first grade, served as principal of an elementary school and presented Early Childhood Education workshops. I also worked as the Children’s Ministry Director of Petaluma Valley Baptist Church. Currently, I serve as Director of Kid Care Preschool at Cottonwood Creek Church.  

I believe that young children are curious, full of wonder and unique. They need to be provided with activities that are open ended, process oriented, developmentally appropriate, and interesting. They need to be allowed to explore to discover and learn.
