About The Mustard Branch
The Mustard Branch was founded by Marcy Bennis, an early childhood educator with more than 30 years of experience teaching preschoolers and kindergartners.
At The Mustard Branch, Marcy brings together her love for teaching, her commitment to families, and her belief that little learners thrive when they are supported, encouraged, and invited to wonder.
A deep passion for empowering families
Marcy’s work is rooted in a deep passion for empowering families who value early learning and developmentally appropriate growth.
Her background includes family education through ECFE and a long history of nurturing children’s natural curiosity through play, exploration, and meaningful connection.
Faith
Marcy’s Christian faith is at the heart of The Mustard Branch. She believes that even the smallest seeds of wonder, kindness, and faith can grow into something beautiful when children are surrounded by love and encouragement.
Through gentle faith-filled stories, simple prayers, and moments of blessing, she creates an environment where young learners feel safe, cherished, and invited to experience God’s goodness in everyday moments.
