Bernadette Hard
our Director
​
Bernadette is currently our Director and TK Teacher. She is originally from Pennsylvania, where she attended Mansfield University and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. Her professional journey later took her to Southern California, where she spent over a decade furthering her education and gaining extensive experience working in a variety of preschool settings.
While living in California, Ms. Bernie met her husband, Rodney. The two eventually settled in Concord, North Carolina, where she has continued her lifelong commitment to early childhood education. With more than 30 years of experience, she has served in multiple roles ranging from classroom teacher to program director, consistently demonstrating a deep dedication to nurturing young learners.
Bernadette and Rodney have a daughter, Brittany, and a son-in-law, Kevin, both graduates of Western Carolina University. In her free time, she enjoys the beach, traveling with her family, and spending time with her two beloved cats, Maggie and Mary.
She is passionate about creating a fun, engaging environment that inspires children to love learning, love God, and grow in their faith.
