2 1/2 Year Old Assistants

Ms. Marina
 I began my journey at STMPS 3 years ago.  My first year I started in the 18 months class, and am now currently in the 2 1/2 year old class.  My experience and love to be around preschool kids began in my home country of Argentina.  From the moment my daughter attended preschool until I decided to come to the United States and dedicate myself to working as a full-time babysitter.  I love being around children and watching them grow and learn at such a young age.

 Hi!  My name is Morgan Collard and I have been a part of St.Thomas More Preschool for over ten years.  First as a parent when my oldest child first enrolled, then as booster club president and now as a teacher.    I just can’t get enough of this wonderful place!  I teach the 2 ½ year olds.  I love how much these little kiddos light up my day with their smiling faces!  I enjoy having fun and being silly and using art to help teach.  I also find it rewarding to part take and witness the spiritual growth of such young children, it is truly a testament of God’s love.  There is such tremendous growth that happens between age 2 and 3 and I feel blessed to be a part of that and work with such amazing people.

I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley in deep, south Texas.   I am a proud Aggie graduate of Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Environmental Design.  I had a wonderful career working for NASA at Johnson Space Center before moving to the Austin area with my husband.  We have four wonderful children ranging in age from middle school to preschool.
