Charity Garcia, LAUNCH Director
I've always homeschooled my kids and LAUNCH was born out of a desire to bring homeschoolers together while still getting to keep our individual curriculum preferences at home and to add encouragement and support to these families. I have a background in child development and psychology through my undergraduate in social work and my Master of Science in Social Work in Administration and Community Development. I've been a respite and foster parent for over 5 years and am the Volunteer Coordinator at FBC.
Lisa Becton, LAUNCH Director
I’ve had the blessing of being involved with LAUNCH from its inception and am so looking forward to everything this new semester has to bring. Before I became a home educator, I taught in the public school classroom for nearly a decade. I obtained my degree in education from Texas A&M University and became a certified EC-4 teacher thereafter. I have experience in PreK through 2nd grade classrooms, with 2nd grade being where I spent the most time. After my first child was born, I left the public school and worked at my church’s preschool for 4 years. I taught 3 year old preschool and also served as program director during my last year. I’m so happy that LAUNCH not only provides a fellowship with an amazing community, but also offers me the opportunity to continue to teach!
