Julie Ellerbrock, Director of Children’s Ministries for St. Luke’s United Methodist Church

Debbie Weymouth, St. Luke’s Day School Director, is an early childhood specialist whose love and advocacy for young children has kept her active as an early childhood program administrator for thirty years! She received her degree and teaching certification from Texas’ own, Stephen F. Austin University. Her roots are in the  Kindergarten classroom where she taught for ten years before she was called to begin her journey in United Methodist preschools and faith-based programming. In addition to consulting, speaking, and teaching the Child Development Associate course, Mrs. Weymouth has served on the Early Childhood Methodist Conference committee in various capacities over the years and was a 2016 Keynote Speaker. She’d be the first to tell you how much she loves this work, and as she continues to grow, also wants to help others be the best teachers, administrators, and parents they can be!
