Friends,
 
We are filled with joy for the enthusiasm so many of you have shown for Covenant Preschool and its reopening this Fall. I am also excited to introduce you to our new Preschool Director, Janice Price. Read below for more information about Janice and check out this short video where you can hear from Janice.
 
Janice Price comes to Covenant Preschool after serving as the Director of the Child Development Center at First United Methodist Church for the past 24 years. Before her role in the CDC at First United Methodist Church, Janice served as the Director of Children’s Ministry at a church in Midland, North Carolina. Along with Janice’s wealth of experience in early childhood education, she brings with her a passion for continuing to grow in her knowledge. Janice is pursuing a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education at University of North Carolina, Charlotte.
 
While Janice brings tremendous experience and a continued passion for early childhood education, she also brings care and compassion for the whole preschool. Janice’s care for both the children and families at the preschool will be a great asset to our preschool. Her kindness and belief in the work of early childhood education are palpable and will be a gift as we re-open the preschool this fall. Finally, Janice has a proven ability to safely re-open a school amid COVID which will help the preschool to confidently move towards reopening this fall.
