Lorna Tamsett

Preschool & Playschool Director
I have always had a deep love for the younger and shorter version of God’s children – babies through preschool-aged. I desire to share the wonder of God’s world and His love and grace by encouraging parents and teaching children for the past 40+ years. This passion is rooted in Deuteronomy 6: 4-9, so out of God’s love for me I desire to love and serve His children. I have three educational degrees that have brought great enrichment and insight to the preschool. I have three wonderful adult children (and their spouses!) and it is a blessing to be called “Nana” by seven beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and friends – laughing and playing together.

Bonnie Parker

Administrative Assistant & Young 3s
I am a mom to four great kiddos (ages 11-17), all attended CCP preschool. Our family has been truly blessed by the outreach and community the preschool has provided through our years of attendance. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from University of Northern Colorado. Serving children has been a great delight in my life.
Hebrews 13:21 is a great encouragement to me in this stage of life. I am learning to rely on the truth and knowledge that I have been ‘equipped in every good thing to do His will’ and that my attempts are ‘pleasing in His sight.’ I love a good adventure, sharing life with friends and family, serving others, and tackling a DIY home project.

Jessica Basile

Playschool | Young 3s
I am an alumna of CCPP and in 2002 had the privilege and blessing to not only send my own daughter here but to also begin my career in Early Childhood as the Toddler teacher. My family and I moved to Arizona in 2005 where I finished my degree and after six hot years we returned back to beautiful Colorado! After moving back, I also returned as the Toddler teacher at CCPP until 2016 when a surprise addition to the family arrived, my son Dominic. Currently, my daughter is a Business/Finance major at the University of Arizona and my son is in the JrKindergarten program continuing the next generation at CCPP.  I am also the co-owner/instructor of Academy of Art LLC, an art enrichment program that is proudly providing afterschool art classes here at the preschool!

Martha Wersch

PreKindergarten |  M/T/Th, F
I received my bachelor’s degree with a major in Music and a minor in Bible. After college, I spent three years overseas as a missionary. I am a person of many and diverse interests, and one of them has always been young children. I love to interact with their distinct personalities and influence them for God. Originally from Connecticut, I have spent most of my adult life here in Colorado. I have a firefighter husband and three active boys who are in their teenage years. Some of my other interests include God’s family around the world (mission work), knitting, singing, and of course chocolate.
A few of my favorite things are serving at church, being with family and friends, and reading a good book when I’m not gardening. I can’t wait to meet you and start the school year.

Ginger Davis

Preschool 3s | M/W, T/Th, F
I’m looking forward to a year of learning, fun and adventure. I was born in Michigan and moved to Colorado with my husband in 1990. We have 3 married adult children. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood. It is my 8th year teaching here at CCP Preschool. Prior to this my focus was as a homeschool teacher to my children.
Ever since I came to Christ, I have loved to teach His word. It started with my children and since they’re all grown up it is my joy to teach your darling children about the love and faithfulness of our God and our goal to be like Jesus.

Susanne Jedholt

Playschool |  Toddlers
I was born in Sweden and moved to Colorado at the age of 23. My experience with children began with my mother’s in-home child care center. I have always loved children and got my Early Childhood degree in Sweden. I continue to take Early Childhood Education classes here to meet Colorado Standards. I am married and have two teenage boys with one in high school and the other in college. Our whole family loves to be outdoors – we are camping, boating, hiking, biking or skiing almost every weekend. I feel blessed to have found CCPC and love teaching here.

Tania Dougherty

Preschool 3s  | M/W, T/Th
Hello to the wonderful families of the 3s! I'm super excited to be teaching your adorable children. I have three energetic boys of my own, ages 11-16 and the last is a Preschool alumni! My family settled in Denver about 7 years ago; we've been both west and east coasters. I have a BA in International Business from SDSU, and was a collegiate and post-collegiate athlete in volleyball and rowing. I had a career in hotel and real estate sales and marketing, but my most honored job has been that of mom. In my spare time I enjoy cooking for family and friends, gardening and DIY projects.

This will be my third year of teaching Playschool at CCP Preschool, and I’m so very excited! Both of my two children attended CCP Preschool. This year my daughter attends Greenwood Elementary and my son attends Cherry Creek High School.  
Professionally I have a background in the medical field as a medical assistant. Since moving to Colorado I've been focused on raising my family and enjoying life as a mom and homemaker.
I love cooking, travel, and feel incredibly grateful to be part of CCP. Teaching here is such a joy!
