Elizabeth Rollins has over 20 years experience in Early Childhood Education. She considers it a blessing to partner with parents and students to nurture lifelong learners who will bless & inspire the world. Elizabeth’s background with Early Intervention programs has increased her belief that every child is uniquely made and has a place in this world that only that child can fill.
As the director and a teacher of Stafford Academy Elizabeth looks forward to leading the school with her vivacious love for children and desire for enriching children’s education. She feels blessed to be a part of a Christ centered school that helps each child reach their greatest potential. Elizabeth and her staff’s activities are planned around activities that grow children cognitively, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually through play and hands on learning.
Elizabeth’s hope is that when you and your child walk through the school doors that you are instantly filled with the knowledge that not only would your child be loved and cared for you but that you and your entire family would be as well.
On a personal note, she enjoys arts and crafts, hiking, camping, horse back ridding and just about any outdoor activity with her two children.
