Hey there! I am originally from a 500 acre ranch in Osage County. I grew up with the nickname, “Mother Hen” and frequently found myself caring for and teaching others in various ways all of my life. I developed a strong desire to become a teacher during my high school years and obtained my B.S. Elementary of Education in 2014. In 2021 I was nominated as Ranch Heights Teacher of the Year. I have spent many precious years (19) working in before and after school care programs, summer camps, teaching first grade, and elementary art in public education. God has recently directed me onto a new path of life in the teaching world. My heart longs for children, my own included, to learn naturally and authentically without time constraints and limitations. I hope you find our learning pods to be a great fit for you and your child!
“Jackie endeavors to be Christ-like in all that she pursues. Her life is her ministry. She is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people I have had the pleasure to work alongside. She is a woman who has exceptional Christian character, is deeply kind and compassionate, and she stands on Truth, honesty and integrity. She is responsible and reliable, not to mention incredibly talented, a lot of fun to be around, and her positive attitude is contagious.” - Stephanie Frederick, Teacher/Co-worker
Hi there! I am originally from Overland Park, Kansas, and I have been teaching ever since my dolls would listen! It has always been my dream to be an elementary school teacher. I spent my high school and college days teaching, nannying, and sponsoring various church camps and activities. I majored in Elementary Education and received my Master’s in Educational Leadership at Oklahoma Wesleyan. I am both elementary and early childhood certified. I’m in my tenth year of teaching First Grade! I have a special calling placed on my heart to homeschool my child, along with others, in a small group style with a family-like atmosphere.
“I have worked with Allie for ten years, and I have had the pleasure of her teaching all three of my children. I’ve watched her as she has taught her students with love, kindness, joy, and consistency. She truly loves watching students come to life with new knowledge. She goes above and beyond to make sure that all students’ educational, social, and emotional needs are met.” -Heather Schumacher, Teacher/Co-worker
Ever since we became teammates as First Grade teachers in 2014, we have had the dream of building our own learning pod with a student-centered approach. Our desire and passion is to teach each child how much Jesus loves them and meet each child where they are, drawing from their strengths and creating a joyful environment. Building up children in their confidence through individualized attention and love is the heartbeat of BWLP and WW. Our names come from a belief that each child is a unique and precious gift from the Lord and will bloom in their own time when they’re loved and nurtured. A small learning environment where children feel safe, valued, and experience joy is the perfect recipe for those precious wildflowers to bloom!
