Our CCDC Staff
As a staff, our CCDC teachers and administrators are personally committed to your child's spiritual, academic, physical, social, and emotional growth and development. Our goal is to educate, serve, and lead children as authentic followers of Christ.
We realize every interaction is an opportunity, and we are committed to helping each child develop:
- A positive self-image, secure in the knowledge that God loves him/her and that He has a plan for his/her life
- Language skills to express thoughts and feelings
- Learning skills to grow in knowledge and understanding
- Social skills to work and play with other children and adults successfully
- Physical skills as they grow through every age and developmental stage
We love what we do, and it shows in our CCDC children's lives and our active, ongoing partnerships with parents.
Occasionally, we offer employment opportunities for talented Christian educators. To learn more, please see details HERE.

Lori’s calling is to use her gifts to serve God by working with the staff, parents, and children of Calvary Child Development Center.
Lori was raised in a Catholic home and came to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ as a freshman in college. She is originally from Chicago and has been married for 21 years to her loving husband, Ron. Lori and Ron have been active members of Calvary since 2013. They have two daughters, Caleigh and Scout. Both girls are attending college in North Carolina.
Lori has had a diverse and fascinating work life. She has owned and operated her own business, managed a call center for AT&T, and worked as the Director of the Main Street program in Wisconsin. She fully realized her love of working with children when she became a teacher of 4 year-olds in Chicago, IL. Her husband’s position brought them to Charlotte in 2011 and Lori has worked at Calvary Child Development Center ever since. She has worked in a variety of roles at the Center and now serves as Director.
