Where Preschoolers Play
& Praise With Purpose

WHO WE ARE

WEE School provides a Christ-centered environment for preschoolers ages 6 weeks old thru Transitional Kindergarten to learn and grow.

WEE School is a play-based preschool ministry of Carmel Baptist Church. We believe children learn best through play as we strive to create engaging learning environments that are inviting, nurturing, and Christ-centered. WEE School’s unique approach provides hands-on learning through experiential play, quality over quantity, and building life skills and character development, with an emphasis on modeling respect and responsibility. We desire to create lifelong learners and disciples of Christ.

Our Directors

Missy has a passion for educating children and mentoring teachers, which makes her an excellent fit for the role of overseeing the lower level of WEE School (Birth - Twos) at Carmel. Prior to moving to Charlotte in 2013 with her husband, Bob, Missy was a middle school teacher and basketball coach in both Georgia and Texas public schools. While this mom of two girls goes by the title of Director of Birth - Twos, she will never relinquish her personal title of Georgia Bulldawg!

Alexis Sholley

Director of Threes-TK

A South Florida native, Alexis joined the WEE School family as both a teacher and parent in 2010. Her years of experience teaching in both preschool and elementary classrooms and decade coaching all ages in swimming uniquely prepared Alexis to step into the role of Director of Threes-TK in 2016. Outside the classroom, she enjoys spending time with family, friends, and being outside as much as possible! Alexis feels called to serve God’s kingdom by helping little ones become successful, life-long learners and Christ followers.
