Meet our Staff:
Preschool Teacher: Mrs. Jenna StearnsMy name is Jenna Stearns. I am a native of Canton. I graduated high school in 2008 and from SDSU in 2013, majoring in music education. I taught 5th & 6th grade band in Canton from 2014-2018. I have been directing the church choir since 2014. I live on a farm north of Worthing with my husband Eric, and our three children, Avonelle, Everett, and Oliver. I enjoy staying home with the kids, waterskiing at the lake, spending time with family and friends, playing the piano, and enjoying a good cup of coffee.
Preschool Assistant: Mrs. Kathy Lottman
Hello, my name is Kathy Lottman. I am the assistant to the preschool teacher at friendship preschool. My husband, Jerry and I have lived in the Canton area all of our lives. We have 5 daughters and have 14 grandchildren, which keeps us busy. I have been at Friendship since 2022. Watching these children grow and flourish is the best thing about this gig, as well as keeping me young and having time with my own littles. We have a great structure for the kids to learn AND play!!Check out what Friend-Ship Has Been Up To:
