Jolene Bernhardt
Director
Hello, friends and families! I am Jolene Bernhardt, the new director of Little Imaginations Preschool. My husband and I have been married 40 years and we have three grown children: Joelle, Marcie and Tony. I am the very proud grandmother of two amazing grandchildren: Carson and Kinsley. In my household, we currently have five pets: two cats and three dogs. I love spending time outdoors and I love the summertime (until it gets to 100 degrees). My favorite hobbies are gardening and listening to audiobooks. My family is from Mobile, AL where we could be found sailing every chance we could get on Mobile Bay. I have a degree in early childhood/elementary education and a Master’s degree in Instructional Leadership. I am extremely excited to be the director of this wonderful preschool and I look forward to many wonderful days and years ahead providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children.
Amanda Thomas
Assistant Director
Hello families and friends! I am Amanda Thomas, your new assistant director here at Little Imaginations Preschool. I am the mother of FIVE little Thomas’: Sawyer, Jack, Gracie, Hudson and Ellie. We currently have 2 pet fish named Spaghetti and Toothless (I let the kids pick the names). In our free time, my husband Chris and I spend time at the dirt bike track watching our two super stars, Sawyer and Jack race. My professional experience is great, but my hands-on experience with children is greater. I have a background in psychology and my associates in science and am continuing with focus to finish my bachelor’s degree in the fall. I am so excited to be here and hope to be a positive addition to an already great team!
