 MEET ELIZABETH GIDDENS

I'm excited to share my journey in education and my new role as the LS Early Childhood Director here at LCA. With a deep-rooted commitment to fostering young minds, I've dedicated my career to creating meaningful learning experiences that shape the future of our students.

My journey began at Samford University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. Equipped with a strong foundation in educational theory and practice, I embarked on a six-year adventure in the Gwinnett Public School system. Seeking to enhance my impact on young learners and their literacy development, I pursued a Masters of Science in Education with a specialization in Reading and Literacy from Walden University. 

My path eventually led me and my family to LCA, where I've had the privilege of contributing to the Lion community for the past 15 years. As I transition into the role of Early Childhood Director, I am thrilled to embark on a new chapter of my career. In this capacity, I am entrusted with the important responsibilities of nurturing student learning and behavior, guiding teachers with best practices, and providing unwavering support to our remarkable Lower School Principal.

At the heart of my role lies a commitment to our students' growth and development. By cultivating a learning environment that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and compassion, I aim to empower our young learners to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Collaborating with dedicated educators and parents, I am dedicated to ensuring that each child's early educational experience is rich, meaningful, and filled with joy.

I'm genuinely excited to share this journey with you and invite you to explore the remarkable world of early childhood education at LCA. Together, we're shaping the minds and hearts of the next generation, and I couldn't be more honored to play a role in this incredible endeavor for God’s glory!
