Preschool Staff
Our preschool is a state-licensed program that uses the Abeka curriculum for Reading, Writing, Math, and Biblical instruction. Students learn foundational skills that prepare them to begin reading in PK4. They learn Bible verses weekly and songs throughout the year. PK4 participates in choir with K5 students and performs at MCCS concerts. The preschool staff loves working with children, teaching them Biblical truths, and watching them develop academic and social-emotional skills throughout the year.

Kayley Badgett | PK4 Teacher [email protected]
My name is Kayley. I am 27 years old and I have been married to my husband, Cole, for 5 years. We have one daughter, Katy Jo, who attends in the PK2 class this year!! I attended MCCS from Kindergarten through 12th grade, graduating in 2015. My husband is also an MCCS alumni (2014). I have been working at MCCS in some fashion since I was 15 years old. I started out working Elementary after care, then moved to Preschool aftercare for several years. Next, I became a substitute teacher full time, then assisted in Kindergarten, and now have been in PK-4 for four years. I have also worked at Summer Camp for eight years, serving as Director for the last four. MCCS is a very special place for me, as I have made many friendships, both in school and in the workplace. I have my BS in Birth to Kindergarten Education, with a concentration in Early Childhood from Western Carolina University. I have a passion for small children and absolutely love my job!
