Mrs. Rachel Osborne has been the Preschool Director since 2020. She has a bachelor's degree from Western Governors University in Business Management. She worked for Jefferson Country Public Schools for twelve years. Mrs. Osborne is an Ordained Minister in the Assembly of God. She enjoys spending time with her husband, children and grandson. Mrs. Osborne has worked with children in various settings for the past 30 years including being a Children's Pastor for over a decade. She has a passion to see children learn and thrive. She says, "Children are like little sponges that soak in all the information their teachers are teaching them. I love seeing their faces light up when they learn something new. I love to see when a child realizes the need to ask Jesus into their heart. Children are world changers. Jesus even said, 'Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.' My hope and prayer for every child at Summit Christian Preschool is that they will grow mentally, physically, and spiritually." Mrs. Osborne hopes that each child will remember their time in Summit Christian Preschool as a time they were loved, felt safe, had a lot of fun, but most of all that they learned about Jesus.

Her life verse is: "Be Strong and Courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
