Meet Our Teachers
Kelley Britt, Director
Hello, my name is Kelley Britt, and this will be my 14th year at Faith Preschool. I have taught for 10 years, and this will be my 4th year as director. I am married and have two beautiful daughters. My youngest daughter attended Faith Preschool, and I fell in love with the kids and the staff. I was hooked and knew I wanted to teach, and I still love it! I have my Childhood Development Associate, homeschooled for 2 years and have taught in the children’s ministry at church. I also enjoy spending time with my family, walking my three pups, scrapbooking and watching movies. I truly believe that each child is a true gift from God!
Faith Britt, Teacher
My name is Faith Britt, and this will be my first full year teaching at Faith. I started as a substitute last year in January and quickly fell in love with teaching! I am beyond excited to be in the classroom regularly this year and can’t wait to see what this year holds for us! I graduated from Bethel High School and was a Girl Scout through my junior year of high school. I grew up helping at Faith Preschool and being in the classrooms so it’s amazing to finally step into a role here. I enjoy all things outdoors as well as anything that requires a creative mind. I can’t wait to have an amazing year!!
Ashley Boksuntiea, Teacher
Hello! I am Mrs. Boksuntiea. This is my third-year teaching here at Faith Preschool. Although I have spent the last several years in the 3’s classroom, I am thrilled to be the lead teacher for one of our 4’s classes this year. I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to be a part of this amazing team.
I have been married to my husband Josh for 20 years. Together we have 3 beautiful children: Mahailey (17), Jaxon (11), and Dalton (7). As a family we love to travel, have movie and game nights and attend each of our children’s extracurricular activities.
Although I have an associate’s degree in the medical field, over the years my passion has grown for working with children. Outside of teaching here at Faith Preschool, I have experience teaching/leading children at a previous preschool, and I led a Girl Scout troop for many years.
I am beyond excited to work with your child, helping them learn and grow. I feel so lucky that I get to be a part of their first experience in their education journey.
Whitney Damani, Teacher
My name is Mrs. Damani, and I am delighted to be the Lead Preschool Teacher for the 4 year old class here at Faith Preschool!
Mr. Damani and I have 3 children: 2 sons, Kenton and Adam, and a daughter, Farrah. As a family, we enjoy playing games, going on outdoor adventures, and finding new, delicious places to eat in the Dayton area (I’m always up for suggestions)!
While I love a good read, I also really enjoy music, art, and exploring nature. Teaching children about God’s love and to see the beauty in all our differences, as well as the world around us, is something that is such an honor to be called to do.
I am beyond blessed that God has led me to the Faith Preschool family. I look forward to getting to know each of my students throughout our year together.
Kathy Klarer, Teacher
Hello, my name is Kathy Klarer. I had the pleasure of teaching at Faith several years ago when my children were younger, and they attended the preschool program. I recently retired from HHCS, but my love for children and helping with their development has brought me back to Faith. I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with your child. I started back to Faith Preschool in 2017. I feel very blessed to have gone full circle, with 25 years of experience and extensive training in Early Childhood education. I have been married for the past 41 years while residing in Huber Heights. I’m very proud of our two amazing children, and very fortunate to be called Nana by my grandson (eight) and our new granddaughter (four). In my free time, I love spending it with my family and my dog. I enjoy getting the family together for Sunday dinners, shopping with friends, fishing, boating and gardening.
Melinda Mescher, Substitute
Hi I’m Melinda Mescher. I graduated high school from Vandalia Butler. I then attended Sinclair Community College. I have 3 boys Grayson (9), Easton (7), and Cooper (5) who are my everything. All 3 of my boys have or are attending here at Faith. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends and finding fun things to do.
Amy Paden, Substitute/Support Staff
Hi, my name is Amy Paden and I have been working at preschools in the area since early 2017! I live in Huber Heights with my family. Jonathan and I have been married since 2007. We have two children! We have two children: Hannah is a Faith Preschool Graduate and is in middle school and Owen is a toddler.
As a family, we enjoy board games, going to concerts, Young’s, zoos, parks and spending time worshiping God together. Right now, my main job is staying home with Owen, but I love doing whatever I can to help support the wonderful staff here!
Amanda Peters, Teacher
Amanda Peters is happy to be a teacher at Faith Preschool. This will be her 12th year at Faith. She started working on her associate’s degree quite a few years ago, putting it on hold to take in the early years of motherhood. This will be her 6th year homeschooling her daughters while teaching at Faith. Amanda recently earned her certificate in Children’s Ministry, which she felt would be beneficial to have when it comes to teaching her own children and your children as well. She is currently taking classes online at Grand Canyon University to earn her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and special education. This is something that she has a huge passion for. Amanda and her husband, Jason have been married for 20 years and have 3 amazing daughters, who have all attended Faith Preschool. Aubrey is 19, Savannah is 16, and Sage is 8. Amanda enjoys teaching her own children and feels blessed to be given the opportunity to teach your children, while watching them grow this year.
Andrea Muntz, Teacher
Hi, my name is Andrea Muntz. This will be my fourth year at Faith Preschool. I retired in 2020 after teaching First Grade for 31 years in the Vandalia Butler school district. Being at Faith has allowed me to continue to do what I love, working with children and watching them grow and learn. It has been a pleasure to work with Faith’s wonderful, caring staff.
It’s hard to believe but my husband and I have been married for 49 years. We love hiking, biking, and traveling to see our two children, who could not live farther away from each other. Our son, Aaron, lives in Brooklyn, New York with his family and our daughter, Amity, lives in Olympia, Washington with her family.
I look forward to watching your children grow and learn this new school year.

Nicole Wallman, Substitute
Hi! My name is Nicole Wallman. I am a Registered Nurse and have been for 26 years. I am so excited to be working as a Substitute Teacher at Faith Preschool. I have an amazing husband who’s retired from the Air Force and now works in Government Service on base.
My husband and I have a five-year-old daughter, Eleanor, who attended Faith Preschool and is now in Kindergarten. Faith Preschool absolutely touched her life and helped her thrive and grow in ways that I never expected. My experience watching my daughter grow and thrive so much caused me to want to become a part of this wonderful staff!
I stay home mostly full-time with my daughter. I do still see some patients as a part-time Home Health Case Manager.
I also have two adult children, ages 29 and 25. (Yes, you read that correctly! There’s 24 years between my oldest and youngest.) I also have two granddaughters, a five-year-old and a brand-new baby. I’m beyond blessed to have the most amazing family! And I continue to be blessed to be a part of the Faith Preschool family now! I look forward to spending time helping these kiddos grow and learn in such a wonderful environment.
Amber Tipton, Teacher
Hello, my name is Amber Tipton. I am happily married with 4 girls (20 yrs, 18 yrs, 6 yrs & 5 yrs) & 2 boys (8yrs & 3yrs). My husband Ronnie recently retired from the Navy this past January after serving this great country for 22yrs. I received my MLT and my BS of Microbiology in 2005. In 2011 I received my LPN and have been working PRN at a local hospital as a License Practical Nurse. Although, I love working in medical field, currently I am ready for a change of career. The medical field is not what it used to be, and I enjoy working with children and being a mentor for their future endeavors. I am so blessed to be working at Faith Preschool because this is truly the best preschool. My daughter’s Lydia and Hope both attended Faith Preschool and loved it. Faith Preschool helped both thrive beyond my husband and I’s expectations.
