Preschool Staff

Sarah was born in Coventry, England, and moved to the U.S. as a small child and grew up near Media, PA.  Before graduating from high school, she started working as a File Clerk for a third- party professional liability insurance company.  After her high school graduation, Sarah obtained her insurance license, and within a few years she became the Underwriting Director for the Lawyers Professional Liability Department, where she remained for more than 10 years. Sarah decided to end her insurance career to become a stay-at-home mom shortly after her daughter Abbi was born.  When she began working at Westminster’s preschool in 2000, so Abbi could attend school there, she immediately found her church home as well.  And 17 years later, she’s still happy to be here.

Sarah met her husband Martin in 1983 when both were teenagers and he moved here with his family from Scotland so his father could be the new pastor at her church.  The Jones family has three children-- Adam, Abbi, and Aidan--and two dogs. They all love Sprint car racing, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and spending time together at their lake house.

Jackie Steinmetz grew up in Morton, PA, and graduated from Ridley High School.  She earned a B.S. in elementary education from Mansfield State College and took post graduate courses at Temple University and Penn State University. She became a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in 1981 and has served as a Sunday school teacher, Vacation Bible School Preschool director, Christian Education committee member, deacon, and Chancel Choir member. She’s also been a part of two different church dinner groups for more than 35 years. As the chairperson of the preschool board, Jackie started Westminster’s Preschool in January 1994, and in 1998 she became the school’s director.

Jackie and her husband, Chip, have been married for 44 years and have two daughters and four grandchildren. She and Chip now live with two cats, Thumbs and Lexi, but have cared for many other cats over the years--mostly Siamese. During her free time, Jackie loves to go to her grandchildren’s sporting events, read, exercise, and spend happy times with her staff members at the preschool.
