Welcome to Cornerstone Christian Academy -
Our mission is to provide a nurturing, faith-centered environment where young children are loved, taught, and cared for through engaging curriculum and best practices.
We believe children learn best through play-centered experiences. Play is the foundation for developing critical thinking, social skills, and emotional resilience. While faith and values are woven throughout the day, our program maintains structure, academic rigor, and developmental appropriateness, preparing children for lifelong learning.

Meet the Director:
Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’m so excited to serve as the director of our Parents Day Out program!
I’ve been a licensed special education teacher since 2018 and have spent several years working in an elementary school here in Tennessee. I also had the opportunity to serve as an orphanage administrator in Haiti for a year — an experience that deeply shaped my heart for children and families.
This program was created out of a desire to support families and provide a nurturing, faith-based environment where children are known, loved, and cared for with intention. From my family to yours — welcome
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." - Numbers 6:24-26

Meet Ms. Sarah:
Hello, friend! Faith and family are the heart of everything I do. As a mom to three amazing daughters, I love taking them on new adventures and building lifelong memories together. We share our home with 21 animals—ask me about them anytime!—and spending time in the garden with my chickens brings me so much joy. Whether I’m kayaking, hiking, enjoying simple everyday moments, or soaking up baby snuggles, I am grateful for the chance to love and serve the families in our ministry.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

Meet Ms. Keara:
Hi there! I grew up in Indiana and relocated to Chattanooga in 2017. I'm a proud mom to six kids, and when I'm not at church, you can usually find me reading, working on a puzzle, swimming, or spending time outdoors with my family and friends. Ministry with kids has been my calling since I was 19. As our Nursery Director at Cornerstone Apostolic Church, I bring a strong passion for early childhood education to our program, and I consider it a true privilege to care for and guide your little ones every week!
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13

Meet Ms. Bella:
Hello! Supporting families and continuing my own growth as a college education major are at the center of what I do. As a childcare provider for our nursery, Parent's Day Out, and Celebrate Recovery programs, my goal is to give parents a safe, reliable space for their little ones during times of worship and personal recovery. Outside of my studies and ministry, I express my creativity through drawing and reading, and I love learning everything I can about freshwater aquatic life, rodents, and paleontology.
"But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" - Amos 5:24
