Tammy graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration and a graduate degree in Elementary Education. She has taught kindergarten, as well as preschool. She has also been the director at another daycare in the area.

She and her husband have been married over 30 years and have 3 grown children. She has been a member of Berea Baptist Church and the Rockville/Montpelier community her entire life. She believes learning is best when it is interesting, fun and includes lots of movement and play.

Theresa graduated from Beta Technological School and earned her certification as a Medical Assistant in 1996. She worked in pediatrics for nearly two years. Later, she went onto receive a degree from Liberty University with an undergraduate in Business Administration and a graduate degree in Elementary Education. In addition, she worked as a volunteer for special programs, such as Reading First. The efforts through this program worked to increase literacy skills for Virginia public schools. She also has experience in early childhood learning as an instructional assistant, has devoted her time as a Sunday School teacher and has dedicated fifteen years as a school volunteer for her four children. Theresa has a passion for Christ-centered learning which she believes is a greater part of educating the whole child.

I have been married to a wonderful man for 33 years and have 3 beautiful children. I am very excited to be part of the Faith Community Academy family, and can’t wait to see how the light will shine in each child’s face. I believe the experiences and lessons children learn at this stage will last a lifetime, and hope to place a seed of faith, hope, and love in each child.

Karen is a lifelong resident of Hanover County and has been married to her husband for 34 years and has 2 adult children. She recently retired from her career of 36 years as a radiation therapist and is now thoroughly enjoying working with the children at FCA.

Lindsay is happy to join the FCA team this year as a 4 year old teacher! She attended Longwood University and received her undergraduate degree in elementary education and her masters in special education. She taught 4th grade for 7 years in Henrico County and loved it, but is very excited for a new adventure. She is passionate about creating a safe learning environment and forming relationships with her students. Lindsay and her husband have two little children, Natalie who is 3 and attends FCA and Calvin who is 1 and plans to attend in 2024. We are looking forward to a great school year! 

My hope as a teacher is to nurture children’s faith, spark their curiosity to learn, and empower them to do their best in all they do. I value creating a loving, safe, and supportive environment that supports learning through play, movement, and hands-on experiences. 

I am blessed to be married and have 1 son. My Faith and Family are my number one priorities. I love all things crafty, reading, gardening, and bird watching.
