Where Parents Make the Difference
Meet the Cornerstone Team
Our outstanding team is made up of Denton locals who love adventure and have a passion to teach.
Ms. Britt
School Director
Originally from Honolulu, Britton Blackwood lived and taught in multiple cities before settling in Denton. She graduated from Vassar College with a double major in English and German Literature. She holds a Masters in English, with a concentration in Shakespeare, from Georgetown University.
While she loved teaching middle and high school, as well as preschool from ages 5 down to 18 months, she took on administration years ago and has served Cornerstone as Director since 2016. She has three daughters, all Cornerstone alums.
Ms. Cody
Pre-K Teacher
Cody Johnston has known since high school that working with young children is her passion. She came to CCP with 13 years of experience in Early Childhood care and education. From tutoring at-risk youth, to working in every classroom at her former preschool, to becoming a foster mom, this calling brings her joy and fulfillment. Ms. Cody delighted in teaching our PDO/Toddlers class for two years, and she is now excited to learn and play with our Pre-K students.
Cody married her childhood friend and high school sweetheart, Tyler, in 2009. They live in Denton with their two daughters, three cats, and two dogs.
