meet our team
Ashten Dorris
[preschool director & early childhood minister]
I am thrilled to be part of the team here at Sprouts, and I could not imagine doing anything else with my life. I hold my certification in teaching early childhood through 6th grade, but my passion is working with the younger children in a ministry based program. I have just completed my third year teaching Pre-K at Little Leopards Child Development Center in Lovejoy ISD. I previously taught Kindergarten at Puster Elementary in Lovejoy ISD for four years. I look forward to providing an opportunity to instill a love of learning at school and in everyday experiences. I am excited to be able to build a foundation for each child’s relationship with Christ. Learning in Early Childhood is especially rewarding because it paves the way for their learning in the years to come!
Thank you for trusting me with your child this year. Please know my door is always open to you.
Sincerely,
Ashten Dorris
