Michelle Steppling
Meet the Director

Welcome to Chroma East Cobb!

My name is Michelle Steppling-Terry, and I am honored to serve as the Center Director here at Chroma. I have worked in early childhood education for over ten years, beginning as an assistant toddler teacher and growing into assistant director and now director.
I am a wife and a proud mom to three amazing boys—six-year-old Kristopher and two-year-old twins, Micah and Malachi. Life is busy, joyful, and full, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am excited to join the Chroma family and help create a positive, nurturing environment where children feel at home and learning happens all day long. My goal is for every family to feel supported, welcomed, and truly part of our community. I want everyone to feel as if they gain a family when being a part of Chroma not just a preschool.
