Meet the Director

Director: Stephanie Barb

I started my journey to being a Director in 2004 when I became a teacher here at OCCS.  The Early Childhood Development field was one that seemed like second nature to me and one that I always knew I would pursue and love.  I was also a Christian mother of a young child and knew firsthand the importance of providing a loving and safe classroom for other people’s children, as well as one where they could mature spiritually.  My own child began preschool here and is now in the Elementary school here at OCCS.  I know what trust it takes to leave your child with staff and trust they will meet every need of your child while you are away.  Now as Director of the preschool as well as a mother I strive to make this preschool what it needs to be, to serve the families in the community as well as serving God.  I am pleased to be here at OCCS and look forward to many more years here!  I hope I have the opportunity of serving your family in any way I can.
