Shellie Bates

Program Director

Shellie grew up in St. George, Utah and just loves the red rocks of Southern Utah. Teaching preschool is her passion and spends many weekends planning new fun ways to teach her students. Shellie believes that a positive preschool experience is the foundation to success  in elementary school and wants every child to develop a love of learning. 

 

Shellie is the mother of 4 kids and married to an amazing man. She loves to take her kids on adventures around Utah and across the U.S to expand their minds and help them learn about themselves and others. She loves anything caramel, especially when mixed with chocolate.  Shellie loves to read, do crafts, travel and play games. 

 

Shellie loves teaching preschool at Mountain West Gymnastic Academy and has seen the benefit of adding gymnastics to her preschool curriculum through the growth and success of her students.
