Hannah Twedt
Director
I’m proud to be your director here at Carolina Kids of Fort Mill. My passion for early childhood education began at a young age. I was the little girl always playing “teacher,” organizing the group, and stepping into leadership roles even then. That early spark grew into a lifelong dedication to helping children thrive. I joined Carolina Kids in 2018 as a toddler teacher and, over the years, worked my way into the administrative team. Each step of the journey has deepened my love for this work and strengthened my commitment to supporting both students and staff in meaningful ways. When I’m not at school, I’m spending time with my wonderful children Kylo and Amelia. Whether we’re enjoying family cookouts, shopping trips, or cheering on Charlotte FC at a soccer match. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is creating strong bonds with the families and children in our center. Building those personal connections and watching our school community grow together is what truly makes this work so special to me. I look forward to welcoming each child and family every morning with a smile and open heart.

Grace Cooke
Teacher
Hello, I’m Ms. Grace. I am a 25-year-old, Rock Hill native, and currently in school for Early Childhood Education. I find inspiration in watching children grow and learn the world around them. My favorite thing is that “light bulb moment” when a child finally gets what they’ve been working towards. When I’m not in the classroom I spend my free time traveling, baking, and learning new things! I am excited to watch your little one grow and do amazing things this year!

Alisha Jones

I am so excited to be a part of your child’s life! I was born in Florida but moved to the Carolinas when I was still young. I have two children and one granddaughter. I enjoy shopping, going to festivals, and loving on my grandbaby. After being in the field for 5 years, I have to say I truly love the bonds and connections I make with each child the most! Thank you for letting me care for you precious little one.
Iris Barnes
Teacher
I grew up in Brazil, went to collage there and became a nurse. I left nursing after 8 years when I married my husband and moved to the Amazon jungle to homestead a farm, lead a community development mission to village and first nation people, as well as start a family. In 2011 we moved to Fort Mill with our two children which lead me to start teaching at a preschool. I have a bachelor’s degree in nursing, and several state certificates in Early Childhood Development. I love the adventure of life, working with children and helping others do well.

I have a one-year-old daughter, Ki’Lani, and a five-year-old son, Braxton. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, reading, and attending football games. I’m very excited to get to know you and your little one!
Gwendolyn Gregory

With 4 years of experience and a degree in Early Care and Education, I am passionate about creating a nurturing environment that fosters growth and learning.

I look forward to a wonderful year of growth, discovery, and joy!
