Hello! My name is Sherise and I am the Owner of Milestones Christian Academy. I consider myself a seasoned childcare professional with over 24 years of experience dedicated to nurturing young minds and building high‑quality early learning environments. My career began in 2001, with the successful launch of my own home daycare, where I developed a reputation for creating warm, structured, and developmentally rich spaces for children to thrive. Driven by a passion for community, education, and excellence, God led me to expand my vision beyond home—going on to open and operate several daycare centers. Throughout my career, I have overseen program development, staff training, licensing compliance, and family engagement initiatives, all while maintaining a strong commitment to safety, compassion, and professional integrity. My leadership is rooted in my belief that early childhood education lays the foundation for lifelong success. My work continues to reflect my dedication to providing families with dependable, high‑quality care and creating environments where children feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow. Overall, I am truly grateful God has allowed me the opportunity to be a seed in the lives of so many families and the lives of their children. I firmly believe “if we raise up a child, in the way that they should go, when they are older, they will not depart from it”. Proverbs 22:6
Hello! My name is Halie Allen, and I am so happy to be part of the Milestones Christian Academy family. I truly look forward to getting to know each child and family who walks through our doors. I love partnering with our parents and teachers and strive to support smooth day-to-day operations while helping create a positive, welcoming environment for both our families and staff. I am married and the proud mom of four boys—Sean (13), Ryan (11), Connor (8), and Elijah (1, in Busy Bees!). My family and I attend Central Church in Covington, where I also regularly volunteer in the children’s ministry. At Milestones, I oversee our social media, daily operations, events, and PPA, and I am always working to implement new initiatives that help keep our families connected, informed, and engaged. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. I am truly grateful to be part of the Milestones family and look forward to getting to know each of you!
Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am a mom, grandma, and educator who has had the pleasure of working with children in the Loganville community for over 30 years. My journey began when my own children were young, as I provided in-home childcare to local families. Through my children, I was also actively involved in leading Cub Scouts for more than a decade. My next adventure led me to substitute teaching with Walton County Public Schools, where I served for nearly 10 years. In 2015, I joined Milestones (formerly Country Crossings) as a classroom teacher. After eight years in the classroom, I was invited to step into an administrative role, and last year I was honored to move into the position of Assistant Director. Outside of school, you’ll often find me with my hands in the dirt or my toes in the sand! I am a strong believer in the importance of nature and the great outdoors. I am also a proud mom to three sons and one daughter, two wonderful daughters-in-law, and a grandma to five perfect grandchildren. At home, I have a small zoo of my own, including dogs, cats, chickens, and more!

Teaching gives me the incredible opportunity to make a lasting difference in children’s lives—helping them thrive both academically and personally.

Hello! My name is Mattie, and I was born and raised in Georgia, where I have lived most of my life. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, an experience that shaped my love for teaching. I remember as a child how my teachers would give me extra worksheets, and I would take them home to “play school." That early spark has grown into a lifelong passion for guiding children on their educational journey. I have 11 years of experience teaching Pre-K, along with experience teaching 5th grade and serving as a special education paraprofessional for six years. I love working with young learners, and my heart and joy come from teaching, bonding, and inspiring children through education. Their excitement for learning is contagious, and I feel blessed to be part of that journey. I have been part of the Milestones Christian Academy family for four years, and I truly value the caring, family-oriented environment here. In my personal life, I married my wonderful husband, Mike, 10 years ago. Together, we have three bonus children with families of their own and are blessed with two adoring grandchildren. Children truly make life full and beautiful! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, traveling, and worshipping at church. Teaching is not just my career, it’s my calling, and I am grateful every day to encourage, guide, and celebrate the growth of each child in my care

Hello! My name is Crystal Roberson, and I’m 42 years old. I was born and raised in Madison, Georgia, and moved to Loganville a few years ago. I am happily married and blessed with two grown children and two teenage stepchildren. Family is my greatest joy, and spending time with my loved ones is truly what I cherish most. Working with children has always been my passion and calling. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages, and I find nothing more rewarding than watching them grow, learn, and succeed. My journey at Milestones Christian Academy began as a teacher in the Younger 4s Classroom, later transitioning to the Two-Year-Old Classroom as a lead teacher. While I loved working with the little ones, I always dreamed of becoming a Pre-K teacher—and when the opportunity arose, I eagerly embraced it! I earned my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and began as an assistant teacher in the Pre-K class. Today, I’m proud to serve as a lead Pre-K teacher while pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education at Grand Canyon University. Reaching this milestone in my teaching career has been a lifelong dream come true. In addition to my CDA, I have also completed numerous professional training programs to strengthen my skills and knowledge in early education. When I’m not in the classroom, I love spending quality time with my family—whether we’re relaxing by the pool, sitting by the fire, or cheering on my stepson, Sawyer, at his travel baseball games. In my spare time, I also enjoy reading, decorating, and crafting around the house. Teaching young children is truly my passion, and I feel blessed to play a part in helping them build confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
Hello! My name is Liliana “Gigi”, and I am originally from Chiriquí, Panama.

My family has always been a source of strength, joy, and inspiration, and they continue to motivate me in all that I do. I am deeply passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging, and inclusive environment for children. It is important to me that every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn. My teaching approach emphasizes creativity, cultural appreciation, and meaningful play, ensuring that each day in the classroom is both memorable and enriching. I love sharing stories about my hometown and the values that have shaped my life, helping children explore and appreciate diverse cultures and perspectives. I firmly believe that play is essential for learning, and I am dedicated to providing fun, enriching experiences that allow children to grow, explore, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
