Meet The Team

Hi everyone! I have been the Director at Bright Beginnings Preschool (formerly Mother's Day Out) for 27 years and have worked with children for 34+ years. Before moving to Wimberley, I worked at Summitt Elementary School in Austin and served in leadership positions with the AISD PTA. I received my Child Care Professional Credential through the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation in 1998.

I was blessed to have two sons. My first son is married and he and my daughter-in-law have three girls, an eighth-grader, a sixth-grader, and a third-grader. My second son and his girlfriend have a darling dog that is like their child.

My favorite pastime is being outdoors. I love the ocean, collecting shells, and being on the water, fishing. Reading is how I like to end my day, and I also love watching my granddaughters play sports.

As Director of BBP, I take great pride in knowing that our center strives for excellence and offers our community a top quality childcare and Pre-K program. Being Director of Bright Beginnings Preschool is a true blessing!

My husband and I have lived here in Wimberley since 1991 and have two grown kids who graduated from WISD. I began working at BBP (then, "MDO") in 2005. When I'm not at work I spend a lot of time taking care of my plants and enjoying nature. 

One thing I love about working with kids at BBP is seeing them come to us so little and watching them grow, learn, and become independent and knowing we were a part of that. It is such a satisfying and beautiful feeling. My favorite time of day with the kids is morning free play, especially in the play kitchen as they are taking care of babies and cooking. (Oh, the things they say!) I also love painting with them--art is my thing! I love creating new art for our walls, doors, and bulletin boards!

I graduated from Wimberley HS in 2007 and studied ASL for 3 years in KS. I started at BBP in 2020. I have two young kids, a son and daughter. Together, we enjoy reading, cooking, watching TV, and spending time outdoors. 

Working with little kids is so much fun. The world is new and exciting for them. They have pure hearts and see things through a filter that society hasn't touched. Circle/story time is my favorite part of the day with them. It's awesome to see them excited and engaged and I'm glad to be a part of these important years for them!

I went to high school at San Marcos Academy and live with my parents and our pets, Chloe, Sasha, and Nirvana. I'm looking forward to starting online classes at Grand Canyon University soon, and working toward a degree in elementary education.

I started working at BBP in 2023. I love working with kids because I love helping them learn and grow and listening to their adorable, funny conversations. They always make me smile! My favorite activities with the class are engaging with them during Center time and Playground time.

I live here in Wimberley and graduated from Wimberley High School. I have a large family that includes six siblings and three dogs. I started working at BBP in 2021 and I love working with kids because they're spontaneous and make the day fun. I love teaching them new things, being silly with them, and enjoying outside time with them.

I graduated from high school here in Wimberley and I'm currently living in San Marcos with my boyfriend and my dog (Deedee) and cat (Benji)and attending dental school. I started working at BBP in 2022. I love how silly and loving kids are. They really brighten my day and remind me of how much fun learning can be! My favorite time with the kids is one-on-one time when I'm able to teach them and comfort them. It's so rewarding to watch them learn and grow!

I attended the University of Texas @ Dallas and graduated in 2008 with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies. My husband, Chance, and I live here in Wimberley and have three kids, Kaegen, Ansley, and Henley. We spend most of our time at the kids' various sporting events: basketball, softball, volleyball, track, and dance! During our free time we enjoy being outdoors as a family, traveling, trying new activities and foods, and exercising.

I started at BBP in 2024. I love being present at pick-up time, watching all the kids wake up and get so excited to see their parent picking them up. The smiles and giggles are priceless!

I first became acquainted with BBP as a mom, when my son (now in college!) attended Pre-K here. Our family loved the program and staff, so when I had the opportunity a couple years later to work here, I jumped at it! That was 2013. Time flies when you're having fun!

I went to high school in San Marcos and then earned my BA in Psychology from Texas State University. My husband, Jim, and I have three grown kids that went to school here in Wimberley--our daughters, Micaela and Kelsie, and our son, Peyton. Our three dogs (Duncan, Cooper, and Lola) round out our family.

I'm currently the Pre-K teacher and Curriculum Director here at BBP and I feel exceptionally blessed to spend my days teaching, singing, playing, and creating with these amazing kids!

In addition to teaching children, I also write for children! My two most recent titles are The Great Cookie Kerfuffle (2022) and Alice Alone (2025). When I'm not writing you can find me curled up with a good book, taking care of my (many!) beloved plants, or daydreaming about my next getaway to the beach!

I graduated from New Braunfels High School and now live in San Marcos with my husband and our four children, Evan, Peyton, Draven, and Brooklynn, who all attend school in Wimberley ISD. We also have a small black and white dog named Oreo. I started working at BBP in 2021. I have always loved working with littles! They are always fun and can make your day with just a hug! My favorite activities in the classroom are circle time and craft time:)

I grew up in Wimberley and graduated from high school here. I have three older sisters (one of my sisters is now a teacher at Blue Hole Elementary) and one older brother. I now live in Kyle, Texas. I started working at BBP in 2023. Kids bring joy to my life! I love seeing their sweet smiles every day, building a close bond with them, and getting to witness their "firsts"! I especially love circle time and playground time, playing with them and hearing their little laughs:)

I graduated from Canyon Lake High School and began working at BBP in 2024. I live in Spring Branch with my parents, two brothers--Christopher and Jeremiah, and four dogs (Two Pugs--Broli and Suzie, and two Labradors--Coffee and Peanut!)  

I really enjoy working with kids; they are sweet, cute, and fun to be around. I especially love outdoor/playground time with the class!

I'm originally from Hudson, Texas and I attended Angelina Jr. College. My husband, David, and I live here in Wimberley and have two grown kids, Jacob and Sarah, and two cats, KitKat and Danny.  Our daughter, Sarah, teaches kindergarten at Kyle Elementary. 

I've been at BBP since 2022 and I also worked here for five years back when we were a Mother's Day Out program. 

I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn and accomplish new things and I love to see how proud of themselves they are. My favorite activity of the day with them is dance and motion!

I graduated from Wimberley High School and I have four sisters and two brothers. I started working at BBP in 2024 and I love working with kids because they always bring joy into my life. It  makes me happy just seeing them smile and helping to teach them new things!
