Hello, I am Judy Bartlett. I teach grades 1-2. I grew up in a Christian home in Western North Carolina and have fond memories of listening to dad read Bible stories and taking walks in the forest. My husband and I have three grown children. Some of my favorite activities are reading, gardening, singing, and cooking.
My degree is Elementary Education K-6 with a concentration in teaching Elementary Science from East Carolina University. I am currently working on a graduate degree in Outdoor Education from Southern Adventist University because the outdoors is my favorite classroom.
Some of my favorite classroom projects include slime, volcanos, solar oven pizza, and a fossil dig.
I love working with students. I take pictures of this student’s first adventure up into the climbing tree and applaud that student’s first flip on the ropes or squat down to ponder the newest insect that my quiet student has discovered under the picnic table. I hear them say I got it in math and watch them pick up a book just to enjoy the story. Seeing them feel confident and succeed is what brings me joy.

My name is Tracey Grove. I am the Child Development Director for the 3-6 year old age group. I have many years of experience in the classroom and being a teacher was my dream from the time I was six years old. I look forward everyday to create and implement lessons that my kids will be excited about. We learn so many things in my class and to see the kids actively engaged and loving to learn brings joy to my heart.. I love kids and this age is my favorite. They are so excited about school and life in general and so full of energy! I want my classroom to be a place where every child feels welcomed, loved and safe. A place where learning is active and engaging. A place where kids love to come.
I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have two wonderful children. Being Nana to three beautiful grandchildren makes my life complete. I love to read with a hot cup of tea and my dog curled up beside me. I also love walks in the woods and to put my feet in the sand at the beach. To hear a child's laughter or to have their hand in mine is one of life's greatest joys! I would love to have your little one become a part of our classroom family.
