Our van drivers transport children to Adams, Chestnut Hill, Plymouth, Siebert, and Woodcrest Elementary during the school year. We are also open and available for drop-in care whenever Midland Public Schools is closed (planned and unplanned days off). During the summer, our school-age children enjoy weekly field trips, special guests, cooking activities, science experiments, and so much more! The children in this program enjoy networking with friends from other schools and former preschool classmates.
Genell Prather,
sCool Age Lead Teacher
Genell has been an integral part of Heaven’s Elect since 2016, working closely with our school-age children. She supports the philosophy of ’embrace the madness,’ a belief that children should be free to make messes, be loud, and fully enjoy their childhood. At the same time, she understands the importance of teaching responsibility. Genell is confident that school-age children can strike a balance between fun and accountability when teachers set clear, simple, and fair limits, all while maintaining consistency.
Before joining our team, Genell spent years as a stay-at-home mom, a role that has honed her nurturing skills. She volunteered her time in her son’s elementary school, creating some of her most cherished memories, such as reading to children, planning classroom parties, and supervising field trips.
Outside of the classroom, Genell enjoys spending her free time relaxing in the sun, camping, baking, crafting, and enjoying quality moments with her husband and son.
