We truly believe that an organization is only as good as its people, which is why we’ve worked hard to select a team of some of the most skillful, kind, and compassionate people in early childhood education. Every member of our teaching team is here for one reason – they truly love helping kids learn and grow! Take a look below to get to know our TBE team and find out what makes our staff the best in Frisco!
The Blue Elephant opened its doors in the Spring of 2011 and is owned and operated by husband/wife team, Clay and Meredith Carpenter. Meredith, a former FISD teacher with over 20 years of experience in child development, has a true passion for education and early childhood development. Meredith is an on-site owner and loves to read to the School Readiness rooms, play with the young toddlers, and cuddle the preschool’s sweet infants. Clay works full-time with Frisco’s Fire Department as an Assistant Chief and uses his business-minded skills to keep the center’s operations running smoothly. Together, they have two children, Gracie and Tyler. Both children attended The Blue Elephant and are now young adults. Clay and Meredith reside in Frisco and love the community.
Their door is always open if you would like to visit.
