Hello, my name is Shawnta Jones. It has been a pleasure working with AlphaBEST Education for over 15 years and I can truly say I am looking forward to the future of this company. I graduated from Kaplan University in 2014 with an Associates' Degree in Early Childhood Development. Working as an advocate for children has always been my passion. I am honored to say I am a loving wife, a mother of three, and a grandmother of two gorgeous grandsons who are all responsible for some of my proudest moments in life.

Hello, my name is Melissa Thomas. I have worked with AlphaBEST since 2005, and I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Penn Foster College. I oversee all of our before & after-school programs and an early childcare center here in Charles County. I have been a certified Red Cross instructor in First Aid/CRP and AED for 15 years now. In 2016 I had the pleasure of working with author Bill Carter on an anti-bullying campaign, visiting many students in Charles County Schools. I am a wife and mother of three beautiful daughters and three bonus children who remind me how blessed I am every day. I believe that the best way to predict the future is to create it.
