Lisa Sweeney
Owner & Director
4/5 Year Old Pre-Kindergarten Teacher
Hello, my name is Lisa Sweeney. I have lived in Arizona for 35 years and recently moved back to Scottsdale where I spent most of my childhood. I have a wonderful 16 year old daughter named Caitlin who is a Junior at Desert Mountain High School. I received an AA degree from Gateway Community College. I have also completed 16 credit hours in Early Childhood Education at Mesa Community College and 128 continuing education hours in Early Childhood Development, Curriculum Development and Phonics Strategies for Early Readers. I have 11 years of experience as a Preschool Teacher and Assistant Director, one year of experience as a Kindergarten Para Educator in the Chandler Unified School District and have been a Preschool Owner and Director for the last two years. God has given me a love of children and teaching. I feel very blessed to be a part of North Scottsdale United Methodist Church and the Blessed Beginnings family.
Meredith Pellman
3 Year Old Preschool &
Lunch Bunch Teacher
Hi! My name is Meredith Pellman. I have a wonderful 3-year-old son Luke, who amazes me more and more each day, and a loving and supportive husband of 5 years, Zach. I have lived in Scottsdale since January 2008, when I moved from Indiana. I received my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Purdue University in 2007. One of my areas of interest is child development. I was a teacher for 3 and 4 year olds at Camelback Desert School in Paradise Valley before starting at Blessed Beginnings. I have also been an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay since 2004. My family and I call Scottsdale Bible Church home, and I am so thankful for all that God has given us. I am excited for the opportunity to work with the children at Blessed Beginnings Christian Preschool and look forward to meeting you all!
