Carrie has worked at FBC Preschool since 2015, and took on the role of Director in July 2019. Mrs. Jones was born and raised in Waynesboro and received her B.A. from Mary Baldwin College and her masters in Museum Studies/Education from Baylor University. It was in museum education that Carrie first studied the importance of learning through play for young children and the importance of hands-on learning for people of all ages.

Carrie came to First Baptist Preschool initially when she enrolled her daughters. She loved the “family” atmosphere so much that she later started working as a staff member in the 2-year-olds class, the 3-year-olds class, and finally the 4-year-olds class. Carrie loves working at FBC Preschool where “we let children be children and discover the world around them in the ways they naturally learn - through play.” She loves being able to make a positive impact on the lives of the families and children at FBC Preschool and serving them as part of the mission outreach of First Baptist Church.

Carrie is married to her college sweetheart, Steven Jones, and has two daughters. Carrie loves watching movies as a family, swimming in her pool with friends and family, and eating Kline’s ice cream!
