SAPK Teachers

Jennifer Huntley

Kindergarten Director
​[email protected]

I was born and raised in California and have lived in several different states from coast to coast. My husband and I moved to his home state of South Carolina in 2012 to be closer to family and raised our children. We have been blessed to find a loving and welcoming community here in Aiken and with SAPC/SAPK.
I have contributed in many ways to the school since 2014 from volunteering to working as a 4K Teacher, as well as serving on our School Board. I love working alongside our exceptional staff in upholding our mission to aid students in the development of their minds, bodies, and spirits.

Cissy Kelley

Assistant Director
s[email protected]

I was born and raised here in Aiken.  I have a strong Aiken family history dating back seven generations.  At an early age, I discovered a love for working with children.  I began working in the St. Thaddeus nursery at eleven years old and babysitting for countless families.  In my teens, I was a ballet dancer with the Aiken Civic Ballet. After marrying and having my first two children, I worked backstage with the children for Crosby-Miller Dance Studio performances for almost thirty years. By far, my greatest accomplishment has been raising my children, Andrew, Jessica, Aaron, and Anthony Williamson. My oldest attended SAPK in 1992. All three followed and graduated kindergarten from SAPK. I joined the teaching staff at SAPK in 2022, working with babies. I then taught many ages through the years. I love my position as Assistant Director because I get to know each and every child and family that comes through these well-loved walls! I will have to brag about my grandbabies if you come visit me in my office! It may be a little obvious that I am in love with Maddox and James!!!

I was a Navy brat so I was born in New York and have lived in multiple places along the east coast until we settled in Aiken in 1996. I have been married since 2006 and we have 2 beautiful girls, Kelsey and Kayla. I am a certified radiographer and worked as an interventional radiologic technologist for 15 years at University and Trinity Hospital. I am a member at Cedar Creek Church where I volunteered in the nursery for 10 years and currently volunteer in Kidz Worship where we engage elementary students in the word of God through skits and fun activities. I enjoy playing softball with my church, reading, watching movies, traveling and spending time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to snuggling babies and having a great year at SAPK!

I grew up in beautiful rural New York State, and moved to Aiken after high school. I have nannied for 19 years, and am still working part-time for a local family, but joined the SAPK family as a substitute and Bible Friends staff before coming on fully as a teacher.

I'm excited to continue spreading the love of God wherever He leads me!

2K Teacher; [email protected]

Hello! I was born and raised here in Aiken. My husband, Tim, and I have been married for five years. Together, we have five children: Liam, Alexis, Kadence, Makenzie, and Connor. I’ve always had a love for helping children learn, from shadowing elementary school teachers in high school and pursuing teaching in college. With my youngest attending SAPK, I looked to begin teaching here. In my spare time I like to ride my horse to clear my head, and also enjoy playing softball and visiting the lake with my family.

Tammy Duncan

3K Teacher; [email protected]

My husband Andy and I have been married since 1996. We moved our family of three to Aiken in 1998 from Tennessee. We became a part of the SAPK family in 2001 when we enrolled our eldest son in a 3k class. As our family grew to 7, each of our 5 children attended SAPK. Throughout the years my role at SAPK has changed many times. I have been a parent, a substitute, a Parent’s Day Out Worker, Kindergarten Aid, PTO Volunteer and now a 3K teacher. I have always enjoyed working with little ones and knew that this is where God wanted me to be. I cherish getting to be a part of your child’s early education and can’t wait for another great year at SAPK.

Hi, my name is Candice Gonzalez!  I am from Aiken, S.C. I love working with children of all ages. I am thrilled and blessed to be joining SAPK this year as a 3K teacher. I have experience in many different fields but teaching little ones has always been my favorite. My hope is to share the joy of learning with your children and encourage them to be lifelong learners. I hope to encourage their social and emotional growth in our everyday classroom adventures. In my free time, I can be found spending time with my family and friends, volunteering in my community and my church, hiking to waterfalls in the smoky mountains, traveling, painting and gardening

My husband Don and I met during high school in Kingwood, Texas. We moved to Aiken after our first son Robert was born. We became a part of the SAPC/SAPK family before our second son Isaac was born. Aiken has been a wonderful place to raise our family. SAPK is my ‘happy place’! I have been blessed with the privilege of teaching many preschoolers. I find lots of joy sharing music and movement with all of the preschool classes. I love to encourage little ones to grow in spirit, mind and body. My free time is spent with my family camping and traveling.

Carina McGee

Music Teacher; [email protected]​

I am so excited to be able to teach music here at SAPK; I can count on one hand the few years of my life when I haven't been an active member of a choir, and I can't wait to pass that love of singing on! I was born and raised in SC, and I grew up in a very music-oriented family. While my direct experience teaching is in high school English, it was volunteering to lead music at SAPC's Vacation Bible School that showed me just how much I love teaching music to younger students as well. My husband, Alex, and I have been members of SAPC since 2020, and our daughter is currently a student at SAPK. Outside of the classroom, I am also the Communications Specialist for SAPC and SAPK. I love reading, crafting in all manner of ways, and snuggling with my two cats!
