Nancy Thompson

My name is Nancy Thompson, and I am blessed to be the Director of our Kids Day Out program.  I joined OUMC in 2006, and joined the staff of KDO immediately after I retired from 42 years of teaching public school kindergarten in 2015. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from George Peabody College at Vanderbilt University, and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Administration and Supervision.  One of the greatest joys I experience is watching our young children at KDO learn and grow as “whole” children – socially, emotionally, academically, as well as in their faith walks.

I have 4 grandchildren, who unfortunately live in Maine and Massachusetts so I do not get to spend as much time with them as I wish that I could.   I became a wicked cool stepmom (as my daughters labeled me) when I married their dad in 1991, and I became a  widow in 2018 after 27 wonderful years together.  I enjoy traveling, being outdoors, reading, and gardening.  My church is a very important part of my life.
