Hi, my name is Laura van Leliveld (Mrs. V). Having previously been on staff at Leesburg United Methodist Church as the Children’s Ministry Coordinator and a teacher in both the 4-year-old and 2-year-old classrooms, I am excited to return to the Great Beginnings Preschool for my second year in the Owls room.

My husband, Jeff, and I have been married for 27 years and I am a mom to two wonderful sons. My older son, Cole, graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Marketing and is getting married this May. My youngest, Brayden, recently graduated from Virginia Tech with a major in Finance. Go Hokies!

In my free time, I enjoy paper crafting, traveling, and spending time with my large extended family.
