Kind Child Culture
We believe that children learn to be kind, treat others well, and are respectful, giving, and thoughtful when they experience these traits firsthand. For that reason, Kind Child is truly a culture in the entire school and not a curriculum that we teach. Our teachers are actually catalysts of a Kind Child movement. We firmly believe that kindness is contagious, and it begins with well-trained staff who exemplify these traits.

Venita Bolden

I have a bachelor’s of science degree in social work and I have been working in childcare since 2006 as a teacher, Director, Program Coordinator and Trainer. Working with children is truly my passion and ministry. It is my goal to continue to provide your child a high quality and exceptional education in our childcare facility that focus on building social, intellectual, spiritual and development skills.

Laurie Pichavant
Lead Teacher
I am the proud mother of 3 boys, as well as a proud Jr. Kindergarten Teacher. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Arkansas State University and I have been working with children for 24 years. I started as a gymnastics coach at age 16, then worked as a social worker, and finally as an Early Childhood educator. I have always had a passion for working with children. I found Faith Preschool Academy 6 years ago when my husband and I moved from Arkansas with my then 2 and 4 year old sons. Faith stood out above all the other schools because of the friendly, professional staff, Christian atmosphere, and curriculum. I was very excited when I received the opportunity to become a teacher at Faith Preschool, where I am able to develop young minds, while growing big hearts for God. While I have worked in different positions over the years, my love for and commitment to the school and the love I have for children has always been strong.
