Meet Our Director, Mary Roesch
Hi, I’m Mary Carter Roesch! I’ve been in the childcare industry for more than 20 years and have served in many roles, including Lead Teacher, Coordinator, Designated Director, and Director. I’m excited to bring my experience and passion to The Sunshine House of Lenoir as I begin this new chapter.
I hold a Bachelor’s in Physical Education, a Master’s in Early Childhood Education in both Regular and Special Education, an Education Specialist degree, a Doctorate, and a Master of Laws—and I’m currently working toward my Juris Doctor degree. My education reflects my lifelong dedication to learning and to shaping the learning journeys of others.
What inspires me most is the joy of helping children grow, explore, and build confidence. Watching their curiosity come alive continues to fuel my passion for this work every day. Outside the classroom, I love traveling with my family, dancing, and singing karaoke.
