Meet Our Director
My name is Tracy Samples, and I am the Director at Step Forward Day School. With over three decades of experience in nurturing young minds, my journey in this field was sparked by my profound love of children and my unwavering commitment to fostering their early success.
Originally hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana, I embarked on this new chapter in 2023, relocating to Rockvale, Tennessee, alongside my husband and two beloved bulldogs. Together, we cherish moments with our blended family of four children. When I’m not immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the school, I can be found soaking up the sun on our boat at Dale Hollow or unwinding on my back porch, engrossed in the pages of a captivating book.
