All About The Teachers

Hello, I am Kari Dopkins. I have taught preschool for over 30 years in private preschools. This is my 6th year teaching  preschool special education at Northwest Crescent.   My husband and I have been married for over 35 years, we have 4 adult children and two daughter in laws, one grandbaby and our dog Griz. In my free time you will find me hiking, camping, kayaking, baking, gardening, reading or practicing yoga. I am looking forward to caring for and teaching your child and I am excited for the adventures we will have. 

Hi there preschool families! My name is Lindsey Batson, but my students call me Mrs. B! I am a native of northern Greenville county, where I reside with my husband and 8 year old daughter! This is my 3rd year as a special education assistant! Prior to working in special education, I was at a private preschool for 3 years. I am currently in school to receive my bachelors in early childhood education. Fun fact about me: I am a certified executive pastry chef! I worked in the industry for 12 years! I always had a love and passion for teaching in the culinary profession so I decided to move that passion and creativity into the classroom! In my spare time you can find me with my family, baking in my kitchen, shopping, crafting, or spending time outside! I am a lover of a things Disney and a firm believer that everyone deserves kindness! I can’t wait to meet you!
