Management
Abby Wozniak:
Ms. Abby is originally from Toledo, Ohio, but currently resides in Cornelius. Her background is rich in child care experience and training. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Over the years she has had the joy of pouring into the lives of children and youth as she has taught Transitional Kindergarten for 4 years, directed an Early Childhood Center for 2.5 years, and was on staff at her home church as a Student Ministries Assistant, as well as a Children’s Ministry Director. Abby loves the outdoors and greatly enjoys God’s creation. She loves traveling and college football and spending time with family and friends, especially her two adorable nephews. She is committed to growing in the knowledge of Christ; a verse of Scripture that Abby treasures is Ephesians 2:8 which says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.”
