Our Staff
Shannon Cheek
Director
I moved to Hendersonville in 2008 with my husband, Michael, who works with the NC Forest Service. We have two amazing kids, Taylor and Jackson and have two rescue dogs, Duke and Barley. My journey at Nativity began in the classroom and now I am excited to take on the role of Director. I have over 20 years in the classroom and 10 of those years were spent teaching Pre-Kindergarten, beginning a Transitional Kindergarten program and working with Toddler’s and Two’s. I love Nativity and look forward to supporting our staff but more importantly the children and families at NPK!
Riannon McNeil
Assistant Director
This is my 12th year at Nativity. I started my career in Mortgage Banking for eight years but found my true love of working with children when my children started preschool at Nativity. My husband and I have two children ages 17 (Thad) and 14 (Mackenzie). We stay very busy traveling to our sons cross country and track meets and our daughter’s soccer games. We also have two dogs that keep us moving! I love to spend time outside with my family hiking, camping, biking and running.
