My name is Rebecca Wood (aka "Ms. Becky") and I am the Director of FBCM Preschool Center. My husband Luke and I have three children and live in Cary. Luke and I have been married 28 years. It is a blessing to be a part of the First Baptist Church of Morrisville church family! For 15 years I worked as an Administrative Assistant in various law firms. After having our children, my husband and I took a step of faith and I quit my job to stay at home with our children. To help supplement our income, I kept children in our home and later took a Preschool lead teaching position at our former church in Clayton, NC. I accepted a position as a Teacher Assistant with the Wake County Public School System after moving to Cary, working with students kindergarten through 4th grade. I have a LOVE for music, play flute and sing with the church choir and praise band. In 2013, I answered God's call on my life to start a Christian-based preschool here at First Baptist Morrisville. We started out with 7 students our first month open and the program is currently full with 68 students in attendance. At FBCM Preschool, the children know that they are loved; it is a joy to watch them learn and become secure and self-confident. When our students leave us and venture to kindergarten, it is my hope that they know how much Jesus loves them, that they develop a love for Him, for self, for new-found friends, and for all of God’s creation.

The Lord Jesus has given me a heart and gift for children. There hasn’t been a time in my life that I have not spent with them. During high school I worked in a child care center. I pursued daycare certification and received a position as lead teacher for 12 years. I have been married for 28 years. During that time, I home schooled all four of my children for 12 yrs. At the same time, I cared for children in my home since they were 6 weeks. At my local church in Boston, l volunteered for Sunday School and Awana Cubbies. I helped start up the preschool class for Calvary Chapel Christian Academy established by my local church in Boston. I have lived in Cary for 12 years. Since 2013, I have assisted Ms. Becky and First Baptist Church of Morrisville in establishing this ministry, FBCM Preschool. The Lord Jesus has so blessed us. I look forward to this learning journey and what the Lord has in store for us.

I attended Raritan Valley Community College for two years and spent 12 years working in the field of banking. I have been married for 27 years to my husband Bob. Until April of 2017 I lived in New Jersey with my family. While living in New Jersey, Bob travelled internationally while I stayed at home to raise our two daughters, Kelly and Brooke. Both of my girls are attending college here in North Carolina. We also have a family pet, our adorable miniature schnauzer, Winston. Over the years I have been very involved in many things such as Girl Scouts, booster clubs, and school fundraising projects. I have spent the past 15 years working for the Hillsborough Board of Education and the last five years working with children with special needs. One of my hobbies is traveling. I think it is fascinating to meet new people and learn about their religions and culture. I also love spending time at the beach, bike riding, reading, playing board games, swimming, and spending time with my family! I am so excited to be working as a teacher assistant in Ms. Dianna's four year old classroom!

There are many verses in the Bible that mean so much to me. One is Micah 6:8: “What does Jehovah require of thee, to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” |

My name is Jacqueline. I am happily married to my awesome husband, Josh. Josh and I attend First Baptist Cary where Josh is the student pastor to middle school through college students. I grew up in Morrisville and attended First Baptist Morrisville until I got married in 2012. I accepted Christ's forgiveness of my sins and started living my life for Him when I was 7 years old and I am amazed more and more everyday by God's love, His power, and His sovereignty! I have worked with children for about 17 years including daycare and nannying and I love seeing them grow and learn new things and getting to be a small part in that process.

I am originally from Greenville, NC. I moved to Cary 9 years ago. I am a Mother and Grandmother. I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse for 40 years, and God blessed me in many areas of nursing. I was informed of this position last August by my grand-daughters teacher, and it was a God answered prayer. In nursing, I had been working 85 plus hours and driving 700 miles every week. I could not do it anymore. I raised my grandson who is now in college, and my grand-daughter who lives with me and is currently in the 3rd grade. I have volunteered at their schools, and still volunteer in my grand-daughters class. I am truly blessed to be working at FBCM Preschool with such wonderful women and children.
