Sandy Osborne Preschool Director

Dear Parent and Student,

I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Sandy Osborne and I have been the director of CFBC Preschool since 2004. My husband Tom and all three of our children are members at First Baptist Church of Clyde. Both our daughters attended preschool here and we all loved the program. I began teaching various classes in 2001 and discovered that children and all the love they bring with them is where my heart is. I love each and every child here as if they were my very own. So, with that said, I want to extend to you and your child our warmest welcome to our preschool family.

We provide a very academically structured program at CFBC Preschool, but first and foremost, we teach about Christ and the Bible in a very loving, caring, and nurturing environment. Along with all of our academics, we also will provide your child with physical education, music, and plenty of fun!

Please know that my door is always open to you and your family. I would love to speak with you about any new ideas or comments you may have for us, as well as any concerns.

On behalf of all the staff and myself, we are looking forward to getting to know you and your child and having a wonderful, exciting year at preschool.
