Holly Randell - Preschool Director​ and 3-Day Pre-K Class Teacher
My name is Holly Randell and I am the director here at Small Discoveries. I will also be teaching in the 3-Day Pre-K class this year. I recently received my National Administrator’s Credential and am proud to be a nationally certified early childhood director!  I love being a part of Small Discoveries, and I look forward to a fabulous year ahead! I earned my Elementary Education degree from the University of Iowa (go Hawks!) and I love working with young children. Their enthusiasm for life is inspiring. It’s my mission to instill a love of learning in each child I interact with and help them to become a lifelong learner. My husband and I love living in Ankeny, and we have three children who keep us on our toes and never cease to amaze us.  ​.

Deb Hopkey- 3 Year Old Class Teacher 
I am excited to be a part of the Small Discoveries team and to return to the 3 Year Old Class.  I have also taught Extended Learning, Pre-K and I am a former Small Discoveries board member.  My degree in Elementary Education with a reading emphasis was earned from the University of Iowa.  I began my teaching career as a Chapter I Reading teacher with the Maquoketa Community Schools until staying home to raise our sons; one of which was a Small Discoveries student.  I worked for the Ankeny Community Schools as a Title I reading associate before first joining the teaching staff at Small Discoveries in 2004.  I am looking forward to another great year at Small Discoveries.

Jen Stapleton- Pre-K Class Teacher
I have had the pleasure of teaching the Pre-K class at Small Discoveries Preschool since January 1999. This is the first year I am teaching the three year old class. Working with young children is one of my truest joys!  Watching them explore with their curiosity and eagerness always puts a smile on my face. My husband and I, along with our two sons, attended Small Discoveries Preschool. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I was a substitute teacher in the Ames, Davenport, and Ankeny school districts for two years before joining the Small Discoveries staff. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going to movies, and taking our dog for walks.You can contact me at jstapleton@holytrinityankeny.org.
