“I started out pre-K, did 3rd grade, I did gifted, and then I went to the Board,” Edenfield says. “I started as curriculum director and then federal programs director before I was called back to the classroom.”
And now she’s back in pre-k where it all began.
“It’s just something that’s in you. And you just love it. I missed the children and missed seeing the impact that I could have. I just missed being able to mold lives and to shape lives and to serve. And to give back every day.”
It all starts with making a positive first impression for children who are experiencing education for the first time.”
“We get them to love school, and we make it fun, and we make them want to learn,” she says. “And they’re such little sponges and we just love it.”

“Just seeing the growth is worth more than I could ever put into words.”
