Meet our Directors

Michele Bostwick

With over 30 years of experience as an elementary and special education teacher, I have always had my heart in nurturing young minds. Throughout my career, my greatest passion has been fostering a genuine love for learning during these precious and formative years. Child development in preschool is truly unique. It is a time filled with boundless curiosity, wonder, and rapid growth. Being a part of that journey is a privilege I cherish.

Tricia Murphy

I have been the Music Director here at Thompson Church for over 11 years. Throughout most of my time here, it has been my dream to bring a loving, faith-based preschool to our wonderful church. I have been in education for over 20 years, primarily teaching Pre-K through 8th grade. My thought is that a child’s time at preschool is about more than academics.  It includes helping children develop independence, emotional regulation, communication, and social skills. I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to take part in your children’s early educational experience!
