Meet Your Area Managers

Hello! My name is Alma Hanson. I have been working with children for 12 years, the last five years as a teacher, and before that, at AlphaBEST. I genuinely enjoy working with children and their families! I graduated from Texas Woman’s University with a Social Work degree, but I have always wanted to work with children. I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost six years. I love to read, travel, and spend time with my family. As I look ahead, I am eager to continue working with AlphaBEST, where I aim to leverage my years of experience and skills to make a positive impact!

Charneissa Carpenter

My name is Charneissa Carpenter, a native of Mississippi who relocated to McKinney in 2019 with my seven-year-old daughter. We love exploring new experiences within our community on weekends. I proudly graduated from Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, earning an A.S. in Early Childhood Education and a B.S. in Child Care Management. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Organizational Leadership at National University. Since 2015, I have taught children from infancy to age 12, and I am thrilled to embark on this new journey with AlphaBEST.

I’m proud to serve as an Area Manager at AlphaBEST, where I’ve had the opportunity to grow through several roles, including Group Leader and Site Director. My passion lies in creating engaging, supportive environments where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Throughout my journey with AlphaBEST, I’ve valued the deep connections built with students, families, and colleagues—each one reinforcing my commitment to making a lasting, positive impact. I hold a B.S. in Human Sciences from Texas Tech University, a foundation that deepened my understanding of child development, family dynamics, and community support. This background continues to inform my work and leadership style every day. Outside of my professional life, I cherish time spent with loved ones—especially my fiancé and our two cats, Poe and Edison. I’m honored to be part of the Northwest leadership team and excited to serve a community I deeply care about. I look forward to continuing to support families and staff while contributing to AlphaBEST’s mission of enriching children’s lives.
