CARI BURDETTE
Preschool Teacher
I am a wife, and a mother to my son Aiden who attended Little Sprouts where I volunteered in his classroom once a week as the Handwriting Assistant. I was so impressed with the quality of education he received that I knew I had to be a part of this wonderful team. I have a bachelor’s degree in Youth Leadership and a master’s degree in Education. I spent a year teaching English to children in Moscow, Russia, and was a Kindergarten Teacher’s Assistant for one year at a private elementary school. After receiving my master’s degree, I spent 14 years in teaching and administration at the college level. I live in Sumner with my husband and son and feel so blessed to be a part of Little Sprouts.
MICHELLE WOOD
Preschool Teacher
Michelle joined Little Sprouts in 2015 as an assistant to our PreK class and has since joined our 3- & 4-year old class as well. You can find her enjoying time with her Husband, Rick and their two children, Mallory & Rune. Michelle’s sweet spirit and calm manner make her a wonderful addition to our Little Sprouts team.
SARAH HEATH
Kindergarten Teacher & Program Supervisor
I am a mother of two elementary aged boys, Mark and Christian, and wife to my hard-working husband, Ian. I am currently enrolled in the Teachers College with Western Governors University earning my bachelor’s degree with a dual licensure in special education and elementary education. I have worked with children in some capacity since 2006. I started in pediatric dentistry and once I became pregnant with my oldest, I started nannying for friends and their coworkers. Once my oldest was enrolled in Little Sprouts, I got a job with Faith Covenant Church working in the nursery and that’s where I’ve been since 2016. I love children and I love that spark they get when something just clicks, and they learn something new. I am very excited for this new chapter and working with your kiddos in the classroom!
