Amy Carter / Director
My husband and I have 3 children who have all been in the Franklin School System. I’ve taught at the preschool for 11 years and prior to this, I worked as a facility manager at Herron Associates for 10 years. I have personal experience with an intense, research-based phonics program called Orton Gillingham. This is a multi-sensory approach to reading, spelling and writing and I’ve seen first-hand how valuable this type of instruction is to young scholars like the ones in my preschool class.
I am an active member at Turning Point Church, volunteering to do several things such as teach Sunday School, run the Coffee Cart and greet people at the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings, and I clean the building each week. I love spending time with my friends and family and I’m an avid reader. I also enjoy knitting!

Leann Dixon / Preschool Teacher
Diane Drake - Founder
I am a graduate of WCHS and Ball State University with a degree in Special Education. I taught for over 23 years in the public schools. I started Learn-A-Lot Preschool over 25 years ago, and I now lend my expertise when called upon. I feel blessed to be a part of this team of ladies!
My husband and I have 2 sons who are married, and three grandchildren who are the light of our lives.
I call Turning Point Church my home. I volunteer time teaching classes and enjoying various rolls on the praise team including playing percussion instruments. Photography was a hobby of mine which has turned into a part time business. I love reconnecting with people and meeting new ones because of my camera. My eye is always looking around to see the beauty God has created and thinking of ways to use it in my craft.
