farmerPatty Gilbreath
My name is Patty Gilbreath.  I was born in Kentucky but have lived most of my life in the Hendersonville area.  I graduated from Hendersonville High School in 1977. While in high school I took child care and child development. My senior year in child development we went out into the daycares and schools for training. I started keeping children when I was in my teens. I love children, so I have stayed in child care. I have kept kids from age 6 weeks to 5th graders in before and after school. I have also been a Sunday school and VBS teacher.

I am now keeping children who I had their parents when they were babies. To me it is an awesome reward to see them after they are grwon and with their own children. So that tells you how long I have been in child care. I have really enjoyed working at WHCA Preschool. It is a very loving and christian place to work and be. It is a place where I would have liked my kids to be as they were growing up.
