About Me — Greetings! My name is Malinda West and I am the new Preschool Director for Spring Garden Preschool. I’m a graduate from ETSU with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I’ve worked in education for over 10 years. I’m very passionate about education and hands-on learning experiences for young children. I am a devout Christian who loves working with children and exploring with their imaginations. I love music, performance arts, anything Disney, exploring in the classroom, and I find joy in making others smile. I enjoy spending quality time with my husband Stephen and my two dogs, Charlie and Elsa. I’m super excited to join the SSUMC team!
