Amy was hired as Director of Ward Preschool in the fall of 2011. She has an elementary education degree from Eastern Michigan University, with an Early Childhood endorsement.

When your child attends Ward Preschool, something that you will notice is that Mrs. Werthman will stand and greet “her” preschoolers on a daily basis. Her goal is to call every child by name as they enter and exit our halls. That’s all 235+ children, wow! It’s just one of the many things that you will notice makes Ward Preschool different and leave you feeling that you are indeed part of our great family. Mrs. Werthman truly believes that every staff member in our building from pastors, teachers, assistants and custodial staff really do have the ability to make an impact on our families for years to come.
Amy and Bill have a children’s ministry at home, too: Billy (Samantha), Emma, Sam (Jenna), and Abby, who are Ward Preschool alumni. She is also loving her new role as Grammy to her two granddaughters. In her time away from Ward Preschool Amy loves to watch her children play soccer, soak up the sun outside, read and scrapbook.
