Meet Amburli McCoy

Nurturing Hearts in the Classroom and Beyond

With a welcoming smile and attentive nature, Amburli McCoy brings 10 years of dedicated service to A Child’s Touch and 17 years of total experience in Early Childhood Education to her role as HR/Billing Administrator. Her journey from classroom leader to administrative cornerstone reflects a deep-seated calling to serve families and nurture young lives. What began as a passion for working directly with children has blossomed into a multifaceted ministry that touches every aspect of our center’s operations.

When you ask Amburli about her greatest professional joy, her eyes light up as she shares, “Watching children hit their milestones.” Though her current role takes place behind the scenes, this heartfelt motivation continues to drive her work. Every spreadsheet she manages and every system she refines ultimately serves to create an environment where children can flourish and reach their God-given potential.

From Teaching Toddlers to Administrative Excellence

Before stepping into her administrative role, Amburli spent three transformative years as Team Lead in our Twos classroom, where she guided toddlers through significant developmental milestones. Those precious “first” moments—first full sentences, first independent problem-solving, first acts of genuine empathy—laid the foundation for her understanding of what truly matters in early childhood education.

Her talent for nurturing young minds also shined as one of our original Little Dancers Teachers, where she helped our youngest students discover the joy of movement and self-expression. Through dance, she fostered skills that build confidence while developing crucial motor coordination—beautifully demonstrating how creative arts play a vital role in early childhood development. This hands-on classroom experience gives her a unique perspective that informs her administrative work every day.

The Organizational Blessing Behind Our Success

When you walk through our doors at A Child’s Touch, you’ll sense the warmth and order that defines our environment. That feeling of “everything in its place” stems from Amburli’s exceptional organizational abilities. As our HR/Billing Administrator, she juggles numerous responsibilities with precision and grace, ensuring that our center runs smoothly for both families and staff.

Managing both human resources and billing functions requires meticulous attention to detail, unwavering integrity, and genuine care for the families we serve. Amburli brings these qualities to work each day, ensuring enrollment processes run smoothly, billing questions are addressed promptly, and our teaching staff receives the support they need to excel. Her behind-the-scenes efforts create the foundation that allows our entire team to focus on what matters most—your children.

A Personal Connection to Our Mission

What sets Amburli apart is how deeply her personal values align with our center’s Christ-centered mission. As a mother herself, she understands the sacred trust parents place in us when they choose A Child’s Touch for their children. This empathy drives her to go above and beyond in her role, treating each family with the care and respect she would want for her own child.

Outside of work, you’ll find Amburli cheering at her daughter’s dance recitals—a beautiful full-circle connection to the dance classes she once taught at our center. Her experiences as a parent enrich her perspective, giving her insight into both the joys and challenges families face. Amburli approaches each day with optimism, guided by a personal philosophy: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” This proactive mindset has helped our center continuously improve throughout her decade with us.

A Legacy of Faithful Service

Amburli’s 17-year journey in childcare, including 10 years at A Child’s Touch, exemplifies the staff longevity that sets our center apart. In an industry often challenged by high turnover, her steady presence provides stability and continuity for both children and parents. Her deep institutional knowledge ensures our administrative systems uphold the high standards we’ve maintained since 1977, creating an environment where children feel secure and families trust our care.

This commitment to excellence reflects Amburli’s understanding that early childhood education isn’t just a career—it’s a calling to shape future generations. Her dedication is evident in everything from the efficient systems she’s implemented to the thoughtful way she addresses parent questions and concerns. Through both challenges and triumphs, Amburli’s faithful service has helped establish A Child’s Touch as a trusted name in childcare for Thornton families.
