Our Mission

This Little Light Preschool exists as a licensed childcare program for ages 3-5 to provide a safe and loving environment for children of all faiths, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. It is my goal to help your child develop physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially. I will do this by providing a variety of developmentally appropriate activities which recognize the individual differences and needs of each child. I hope to create a lifetime of interest in learning by providing a fun educational environment at an early age.

    Molly McGavock

    My name is Molly McGavock and I live in Show Low, Arizona. I am a Christian, wife, mother of three, and early childhood educator. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Arizona Christian University. In my free time I enjoy serving the community as part of the First Things First Regional Partnership Council for Navajo and Apache Counties.

    I love working with young children and serving the families of the White Mountains. I also work as a Grant Coordinator overseeing a federal- and foundation- funded project to address racial and health equity via the design and build of a high-quality, low-cost child development center serving residents in rural, northeast Arizona.
