Our Team

Jamie Bentfield

My love for early childhood education began in my teenage years. Since then, I've also served as a teacher's assistant, homeschooled, and been involved in children's, student, college, and women’s ministries. Each of these experiences has deepened my love for teaching, encouraging, and investing in the lives of others.

Throughout my life, the Lord has continually grown my heart for serving Him wherever He calls me. My desire remains the same—to walk faithfully in obedience to Him, and point others to the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

I have been married to my husband, Robert, for almost 32 years. We have two wonderful, adult sons and a dear daughter-in-law. One of my greatest joys is the blessing of my grandson, who has given me my newest title: Gigi! Watching our grandson discover the world with wide eyes, endless curiosity, and pure delight has given me a fresh appreciation for just how precious these early years truly are!

My heart for Oak Valley Preschool is simple: that it would be a place where children are genuinely loved, families feel welcomed and supported, and little hearts and minds are nurtured in the truth of God's Word. A place filled with laughter, learning, growing friendships, and wonderful discoveries—all while laying a strong academic and spiritual foundation. I consider the opportunity to pour love into little hearts and their families a joy and privilege!

I am humbled, excited, and blessed beyond measure to be part of this ministry. I am excited to partner with your family, love on your precious little ones, and watch all that the LORD continually has in store for Oak Valley Preschool!
