Experienced & Caring

Linda Crow

Director

My name is Linda Crow, and I am the Director here at Meriday Preschool. I am excited to be a part of your child’s early learning journey and to be a part of fostering a nurturing, supportive environment where they can thrive and grow.

I have an Associate’s degree in Special Education and Early Childhood and over 45 years of experience working with children and families in all types of settings. I’ve been a toddler teacher, preschool teacher, and an assistant director, currently serving here at
Meriday for the past 23 years.

I live in LaGrange with my dog and 2 rescue cats. I have raised 4 amazing children, 3 sons and a daughter, and I am a grandmother to 7 grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy gardening and reading.

I believe in open communication and collaboration with parents, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.

My passion is teaching. I am dedicated to making sure children learn and grow in a healthy and safe environment.
