Preschool Director

Delia Buckley is the Director of First Presbyterian Preschool, bringing a wealth of expertise in child development and educational leadership. She holds a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Tennessee at Martin and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a background that anchors her dedication to supportive early childhood learning environments.

At First Presbyterian Preschool, we believe that early childhood should be filled with wonder, discovery, and joy. Young children learn best through meaningful play, hands-on experiences, and positive relationships that nurture their natural curiosity. We strive to create a warm, engaging environment where every child feels valued, encouraged, and excited to explore the world around them. Through play-based learning, children develop important academic, social, emotional, and problem-solving skills while building confidence and a lifelong love of learning. We believe that preschool is not only a time to prepare for future success, but also a special season to celebrate childhood, foster creativity, and create happy memories that will last a lifetime.
