Teacher for Monday/Wednesday/Friday AM & PM Classes

Hey Parents!  


My name is Kessyde Spivey, but I usually go by Kessy. I live in Elizabethtown with my husband, Ben, and my Australian Shepherd, Winnie. I have a personal relationship with Jesus and attend church at LCBC Harrisburg. I love reading, baking, and watching movies. I have been working with kids since I was 12 years old, when I started my first babysitting job. Preschool is my absolute favorite age to work with. The best thing about teaching is getting to see kids grow and hearing all the stories they have to tell. I can’t wait to meet each of you and get to know your kiddos this year!

PRE-K  AM  CLASS assistant

Hello! My name is Angela Varney. My husband, Steve, and I have lived in Elizabethtown for 13 years and we have been blessed with 2 children. Gavin is 14 and Jenna is 11 and they both attended Tiny Timbers as preschoolers. As a graduate from the University of Bridgeport in 1997, I have enjoyed helping children to learn and grow for many years in many settings, including gymnastics. I most recently was an instructional paraprofessional at Mill Road Elementary. As a family, we love to travel with our camper, especially in the fall to watch the leaves change color. I love antiquing and finding furniture to refinish and paint. I also enjoy cooking and baking with my children and spending time outside with our two dogs, Bruno and Otis. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Miss Kessy as her assistant on M.W.F. mornings and look forward to meeting and working with her students

Hi Everyone.

My name is Kelley Ebersole and I am the MWF pm assistant teacher. This will be my fifth year working at Tiny Timbers. Both of my children have attended the two- and three-day classes over the years and have enjoyed them tremendously. I think the programs offered allow the children a good balance of playing and learning. I love doing art projects and helping the children learn to encourage each other. My husband and I live in Maytown with our two boys. This summer is going by so fast, but I am very much looking forward to the new school year.

Preschool assistant teacher Substitute


Hi, my name is Gloria and I am a substitute assistant for the Tiny Timbers. 

I have been a stay-at-home mom the past 29 years. I have three sons and 2 daughters and enjoyed homeschooling them until high school. This past May I became a grandma for the first. This is a role I am thrilled to move into.

Following and loving Jesus is my greatest passion. I have been part of the body at Christ the King Community Church in Rohrerstown must of my adult years. When I have down time, I enjoy doing puzzles, walking, or even a game of soccer. I can easily get excited over a good quality children’s book and have quite a collection of them.

I am looking forward to getting to know each of your children.


Director/registration & tuition

Amy Winters

Hello! Welcome to Tiny Timbers Christian Preschool. We are so excited to spend the year exploring, having fun, and learning about Jesus! 

My name is Amy Winters, I am the director of Tiny Timbers. Over the past two years I have had the joy of teaching all the classes at Tiny Timbers. My first year I taught all the classes, last year I taught just the MWF classes, and this year I have moved on to director. Before I joined the Tiny Timbers family, I taught the Pre-K class at Sonshine Child Development Center, taught a summer bridge program at Annville Elementary, and enjoyed many classroom experiences in pre-k through 4th grade during my time at Millersville University.  

 

My husband, son, and I live in Manheim. We love spending time with family and doing various outdoor activities. I love to bake, decorate cakes, grow and arrange flowers, and dabble in photography. 

 

I love working with young children and God has put a special love of preschool in my heart, it has been a blessing working in a field I love! I am excited to see what God has in store for Tiny Timbers this year!
