Castle Heights Elementary

APRIL APPLE – SITE DIRECTOR

Hello, my name is April Apple and I have been with SACC for 3 years.   I am married with 2 children.  I have been married for 5 years and Lebanon is my home town.  I love my kids – they are my hobby – and football.  Also, I have a dachshund named Taffy.  She is my only girl! It’s just us in a house full of boys  :-) I love to sing and fish but most of all, I love my job.  It is a blessing every day that I get the chance to change a child’s life because not only does it change their’s, it changes mine also.

KATHERINE (KATIE) JANTZ – CO-DIRECTOR

 My name is Katie and this is my first year with SACC but have been in childcare for the past three years.  I bought a house a couple years ago and graduated from Vol State this past May.  I love playing with children and listening to their unique conversations.  With my spare time I like to shop, spend time with friends and family and be outdoors.

Allison Barnwell

My husband, Travis, and I have been married since November 4, 2000.  We are the proud parents of two sweet boys.  William is six and in the first grade at Coles Ferry.  Matthew is three and attends Wee Care.  We have lived in Wilson County since 2002 and are thrilled to be raising our boys in Lebanon.  I graduated from Indiana University in 1996 and after fifteen years working in various industries, I am now pursuing a “second career” as an elementary school teacher.  I am enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching program at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville.  In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, working crossword puzzles and most of all, spending time with my husband and children.  I am excited to now not only be an SACC parent but also an employee!  I look forward to getting to know all of the SACC parents and children in our Castle Heights family.  Children are truly a wonderful gift and my goal is to try and make sure all of the students in our care feel safe, secure, and happy!

I am a senior at Lebanon High School and am 18 years old.  I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on vacation, and doing things with my youth group at church.  After high school I plan to major in some type of nursing and minor in Spanish.  I really enjoy babysitting and being with kids.

I am very glad to say that this will be my fourth year watching your wonderful children.  I look forward to every minute I get to spend with them.  :-D
