Golden Strip Child Development Center
Dear Bryson Bears and Golden Strip Cubs Families,
Welcome to what is sure to be an amazing 2026-2027 school year at Bryson Elementary and Golden Strip Child Development Center! I am honored to serve as the proud principal of both Bryson Elementary and Golden Strip Child Development Center, entering my tenth year at Bryson Elementary and my fourth year at Golden Strip CDC. This year, our schools’ theme is “Learning is an Adventure,” and we are excited to embark on this journey together. I look forward to another fantastic year of working, learning, and growing together. Our mission is to collaborate as a school family and to help every student reach their fullest potential.
We are especially excited to welcome:
- Our new K4 and K5 families,
- New families joining our school community, and
- Our returning families who make Bryson Elementary and Golden Strip CDC so special.
Our Bryson Bear and Golden Strip Cub community is known for its warmth, support, and commitment to student success. I have lived in Greenville County for thirteen years. I am a proud graduate of Bowling Green State University (B.S. in Business with a minor in Business Education) and hold a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Columbus State University. I am certified in both Early Childhood and Elementary Education. My husband, our son, our daughter, and I are big Ohio State Buckeye fans who also enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors.

About Golden Strip Child Development Center
Golden Strip CDC is one of six Child Development Centers in Greenville County Schools where we provide high-quality 4K and Preschool Special Education programs, in addition to a variety of activities to involve and educate families. We are the first stop for many children on their way to becoming high school graduates with Greenville County Schools. Our mission, “Laying the Foundation for Future Success”, emphasizes our commitment to ensuring our children receive quality early childhood experiences that develop pre-literacy, pre-math and school readiness skills needed for future academic achievement.
Our early childhood curriculum, based on the SC Early Learning Standards, is designed to encourage children to be active and creative explorers who are eager to become independent, develop friendships, and to learn through play. In our safe and nurturing environment, we work to develop the academic, physical, and social-emotional needs of all children.
Programs offered at Golden Strip
4K Programs - A limited number of At-Risk 4K classrooms for children at risk for school readiness are offered. Children must be four years old on or before September 1 of the current school year to pre-register for this free program. Children selected for At-Risk 4K programs must demonstrate academic/developmental needs and/or risk factors such as low family income and low parent education level.
Preschool Special Education - Special Education classes serve three and four year old children with developmental delays. Itinerant services are provided for children with special needs, who are enrolled in the regular 4k program.
