Ms. Chaney has been working with children in a preschool setting for nearly six years. She graduated from the University of North Texas with a BAAS degree focused in Social Work. After spending some time working in the social work field, Chaney found her way back to early childhood education and eventually to Cornerstone!

Now in her third year at Cornerstone, Chaney says there’s nowhere else she’d rather be. She loves being part of the Cornerstone community and helping create a fun, nurturing environment where children can learn and grow.

Chaney lives in Denton with her two boys, Lewis and Arthur, her pet snake, Merry, and her dog, Koji. When she’s not at school, you’ll likely find her sewing or thrifting for vintage children’s books to add to her office collection.
