About Our School
The Little Country Schoolhouse was a dream of Mike and Debby Respass. In 1996, this dream became a reality. Mike has a Master’s degree in Personnel Management, and Debby has a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction specializing in Early Childhood Education. Mike and Debby have three daughters and seven grandchildren. All of the daughters have been actively involved in the creation of Little Country Schoolhouse, and the younger grandchildren enjoy the daily activities of LCSH.
Ms. Lori is the assistant director and has worked in the infant and toddler rooms before becoming the assistant director in 1998. She and her husband David have 2 children, Cole and Addison, presently attending LCSH. Heather, their youngest, was the school age director for 10 years before leaving to teach elementary school. Her daughter Lilyan presently attends LCSH.
The Little Country Schoolhouse has grown from 10 children in 1996 to over 200 children. On a daily basis, we strive for our families to have a place where their children are safe, happy and learning. In 2007, LCSH earned accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement.
