Staff Listing
Joy Landers Director
I joined OCH when I was pregnant in 1997 as a part time employee. When my daughter was older, I came back in 2002 and became a full time lead teacher. Since then I have been the 1 year old teacher, 3 year old and 4 year old leads, as well as the assistant director for a few years. I love photography and all animals and have always had a passion for early childhood development. I love OCH because of the closeness of the families and staff and the community that has been built over the last 30 years.
Olevia Summerlin Co-Director
My name is Olevia Summerlin. I have been part of the Our Children’s House community since I was a child and enrolled in Walker Avenue Children’s House (which is the center that preceded Our Children’s House). I worked at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida through the college program at UNC-Greensboro and that is where I found my love for working with children. I started at OCH in 2010 as an afternoon staff and substitute teacher. Eventually I became a Lead Teacher, and then Co-Director starting in 2024. I have loved every moment of being a part of the OCH family and I look forward to many more years in the classroom and this community!
