Hello! My name is Rheena Rhodes and I’m happy to have your child this year in the Pre-K class. Here is a little information about me…. Currently I have been working in childcare for over 18 years. This will be my second year working at Successful Start in the Pre-K room. Childcare is so important to me because it gives me the chance to help your child develop an array of social and learning skills that will prepare them for further education. Outside of work I am a mother of two. Son (Cody) daughter (Madison), as well as a Nana to my granddaughter Everly. Also, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I can’t wait to meet you all!

Hello, my name is Lisa Freeman and I'm excited to serve your child this school year. I've served this community since 1997 in the public-school setting at Cliffside Elementary. I later became a dual major at North Carolina Central University, in Child Development & Birth to Kindergarten. My learning philosophy is grounded in the belief that all children should be met at their learning level and the classroom should prompt a learning environment both engaging intellectually & hands on experiences.  I'm a proud mother of three children who keep me grounded. I enjoy travelling and great music.
