EC Pre-K Teacher
My name is Alexis Dobbins. I was born and raised by the beach in Shallotte, NC. I grew up with my mom, dad, younger brother, and several family dogs.
I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school. I attended Campbell University, GO CAMELS! I graduated in 2017 with my Bachelor of Science in Birth to Kindergarten Education.
My hobbies include going to the beach, hanging out with my friends, going to Target, and watching TV. I am a total foodie and will try anything once!
I can't wait to get to know each of you!

Melanie Bastin
EC Pre-K Assistant
I am so excited to be in Pre-K this year!
I grew up in Ohio and attended Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio. I moved to Coats in 2000. Coats has been an amazing place for me to raise my children and work in our amazing school. My husband Michael and I have been married since 1994. We currently live in Willow Spring. Our daughter, Alexandria, is an occupational therapist in a skilled nursing facility. Our son, Michael, has graduated Campbell University and is engaged to his girlfriend, Gaby. I started as a teacher's assistant at Coats Elementary in 2004.
I take great pride in nurturing your child academically and emotionally. Together we can make a difference and I am looking forward to getting to know each of you. Let's make this school year the best!
