Welcome to the Early Learning Center at Memory Road!

Watch Us Grow!

Welcome to the Early Learning Center at Memory Road, where young learners take their first steps toward a lifetime of success! As the first stand-alone Pre-K center for WCPSS, we are dedicated to nurturing curiosity, fostering growth, and building a strong foundation for every child.

Our theme this year, Watch Us Grow, reflects our commitment to cultivating a joyful, engaging, and high-quality learning environment where students, families, and educators thrive together. Through hands-on experiences, meaningful connections, and a focus on each child's unique potential, we are planting the seeds for future success.

Meet Our Director: Ms. Sherry Williams

With over 26 years in education, I am honored to serve as the director of this exceptional learning community. My experience includes teaching Pre-K, kindergarten, and second grade, as well as serving in leadership roles supporting early learning across Wake County.

I believe that high-quality teaching, a nurturing school environment, and strong family partnerships are key to helping children reach their full potential. Together, we will create a learning community that celebrates diversity, embraces a love of learning, and supports professional growth for our educators.

As a proud mother of twin young men, I understand the importance of early education and the impact it has on a child's future. Outside of school, I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, enjoying the beach, and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers!

Our Vision

At the Early Learning Center, we are committed to being a high-quality, collaborative early learning environment that empowers each child to thrive. Through data-driven decisions, hands-on developmentally appropriate experiences, and meaningful engagement, we ensure that every student has the opportunity to grow and succeed.

Join Us on This Journey

We invite families, staff, and community members to partner with us as we embark on this exciting year of growth, discovery, and achievement. Together, let us nurture the next generation of learners and watch them grow into confident, capable, and curious individuals.

Welcome to the Early Learning Center at Memory Road—where little learners blossom and big dreams begin!

Meet Our Assistant Director

Kendra Bradshaw

Hello! I am Kendra Bradshaw (she/her), a dedicated educator with a deep passion for empowering students and creating meaningful change in education. Born and raised in North Carolina, my journey in education began in 2006 when I enrolled at North Carolina Central University. In 2009, I proudly earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration, building a strong foundation in public service and leadership.

Driven by my desire to support students beyond the classroom, I continued my education at Ohio University, where I earned a Master of Education in College Student Personnel in 2011. This experience allowed me to develop a strong understanding of student development and student affairs, equipping me with the tools to support students holistically.

My passion for leadership and educational transformation led me to pursue a Master’s in School Administration and Curriculum Instruction at East Carolina University from 2018 to 2020. This journey strengthened my ability to shape curriculum, inspire educators, and lead schools with vision and purpose.

With a heart for student success and a commitment to innovation, I strive to create engaging, supportive, and enriching learning environments. I believe that every student deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential. I am excited to continue making a lasting impact on education—one student at a time!

Let’s watch our students grow together!
