Dusti Maroney

Dusti received her Elementary Education degree from Delta State University (Fear the Okra!). She has been a military spouse for over 24 years and has been so fortunate to gain experience through teaching and volunteering in schools and civic organizations in the US from coast to coast.

As our new Director of Preschool Programs, Dusti is excited to guide and support the amazing teachers at Discovery Day School and First Discoveries! She also looks forward to the opportunity to establish and develop relationships with Discovery families.  After teaching in both 3’s an 4’s classes at Discovery Day School, she quickly learned this is a very special place with loving families and the sweetest and brightest children.

Her hopes for OU’s preschool programs are that we can continue to grow and have a positive impact on the Oxford community by providing children their first school experience in a safe and loving environment. She wants children to know school is a place of joy and exploration where they can learn what a school family means and where their spiritual growth is nurtured.

In her free time, Dusti enjoys baking, cake decorating, all crafts and any activity with her husband and daughters.
