HISTORY

Pleasant Dale Preschool was established in 1978 by Barbara Barger to provide a Christian preschool for our community.  Susan Landis joined the staff in 1989 and continued as the director until her retirement in the spring of 2022.  We are excited to welcome Jeremi Schortgen as our new director as we step into the next chapter of this ministry, while still maintaining the vision and heritage of  Christian education that began so many years ago.

STAFF

Jeremi Schortgen - Director

I am a mother to two beautiful children, Brason (13) and Slone (10). I have been married to Brad for 17 years, and we reside outside of Monroe on a little hobby farm. We raise goats, cows and have horses! Currently, I am the owner and operator of Yellow Creek Photography. I have owned my business for 10 years now. It has afforded me the opportunity to stay home with my children while still earning a salary to help provide for my family! Previous to starting my own business, I was an elementary teacher for 9.5 years!

I started my teaching career in Middlebury, IN as a 6th grade teacher and varsity volleyball coach. Then I moved home to teach at Adams Central. I taught Title 1, 3rd grade and 5th grade and was the varsity volleyball coach for 5.5 years. I have taught all ages of Sunday school at Pleasant Dale where I have attended my entire life! I graduated from Anderson University with a degree in elementary education with a kindergarten endorsement. I also have my master’s degree in education. I am so excited to try my hand with the littles!
