Rebecca Ferrell

Rebecca’s love for learning began during her own early childhood when, due to a lack of options in the small TN town she grew up in, her Mom decided to begin her early education at home. Little did she know this experience was building a foundation that would inspire her own learning and career goals. Rebecca has her Associate of Arts Degree with continuing education in Early Child and has enjoyed 11 years in the industry. She recently moved back to NC from SC where she served as an early childhood Director, Lead Teacher, and other child education roles.
