Get to Know Our Staff

I was born and raised in Plano, Texas where I attended my grandmother's private, Montessori school. At the same school I grew up in is where I began my teaching journey, and found my passion for teaching young minds. I moved to Austin, and met my loving husband, whom I have 3 wonderful children, 2 dogs and a cat with. In Austin, is where I began caring for children in my home. We quickly grew into the Prep N Play Academy that we are today. I am currently Montessori certified in Early Childhood, and in the process of obtaining the Infant & Toddler certification. My goal at Prep N' Play Academy is to provide the best Montessori experience for each individual child, and to spark a love of learning in each of our classrooms.

I am a born and raised Texan, New Braunfels to be more precise. I have 3 beautiful children with my lovely husband, 2 sons and 1 daughter. We also have two family dogs, Louie and Baxter. I love to bake, read and play sports of all kinds (mainly soccer). My strength and weakness is my competitive edge. Since I was a young girl, I always wanted to be a pediatrician or teacher so that I could work with young children. I love their big personalities, hunger to learn every chance they get and their need for endless love. I am currently working on obtaining my director's certification as well as my Montessori certification in Early Childhood. Prep N' Play is like my second so I would love nothing more than to grow further with this school and be apart of these precious students' lives and educations.

Originally born in Burnet, Texas but Austin has always felt like my home. My passion for teaching started at an early age when my younger siblings were born, guiding them & watching them grow has been one of the sweetest parts of my life. I took two years of child development courses in high school, volunteered at two local daycares during my senior year & through that gained my certification in early childhood education. I’ve always admired how malleable & intelligent young minds are & while in high school started my first job at a Montessori School where I learned the natural, peaceful & student-led learning experience of a Montessori environment & I fell in love. I recently obtained my Montessori certificate and am excited to apply all that I have learned with my preschool class. I met my fiancé during my senior year of high school & we now live in Round Rock with our two fur babies & a dream to one day open our own childcare center. I hope to continue to learn & grow with my kiddos at Prep N Play & promote compassion & ignite a love for learning in each of them. 

I'm a born and raised Austinite and have lived here my whole life. I became a teacher because of my younger brother. I enjoyed spending time with him, guiding him through his work and stepping stones of life. I quickly realized that I would love to help guide other children through life and watch them grow. Some fun facts about me: I have a pet snake named Medusa and know EVERY Taylor Swift song. In my free time, I love to read about Greek mythology and write short stories.

Originally from Harlingen, Texas. Eventually moved to Georgetown. Born a Cancer, naturally calm, caring and nurturing. I graduated from East View High School. My family includes my high school sweetheart and our sweet, two sweet boys. I began working in Montessori back in October 2015. Working with the toddler age group and being able to watch them from grow from age 1 to 3 is truly beautiful. Being one of the ones to help teach them on their way and seeing the light in their eyes as they learn so many new things is truly fun for me. I enjoy it so much! I love all things blue, sipping on smoothies, 80's music, practicing calligraphy, astrology and most definitely trips to Target.

Hi there! My name is Morgan Jarvis and I'm the Chipmunk's class teacher! I have lived in Texas since the summer of 2016 when I moved here from Northern Mississippi. I've been taking care of kids since I was 19. While I don't have any kiddos of my own, I do have a dog that turned 6 this year, a 4 year old cat, and a beta fish who is about to be 5 years old. I like to read and work on my novel when I'm not out on the trails with my dog and cat (yes, she comes too!) It's been amazing to teach these little chipmunks and watch them grow every day!

I recently moved to Texas from Gainesville, Florida to be closer to my family. I have been in childcare for over a decade and love every moment of it. After work, I go home to my 5 year old cat, Baloo and my 4 year old cat, Pika, both rescues. I love to clear my mind with hiking, crocheting and music. One day, I hope to be a social worker to help everyone in need. But if I could be anything, I would be a Mountaineer.

Born in China, raised in Chile and living my best life in America with my kind husband and 2 year old beautiful daughter. I love spending time outside with my family, going to concerts and spending time with friends. A few of my favorite things is making macrame, cooking Asian food, baking delicious treats. Infants are hold a special spot in my heart. I have a love of love and compassion to give and Infants deserve all the love that the world has to offer.

I recently became a first time mom of a very special baby boy. Family is everything to me, and I am truly happy to be be growing my own small family as new mom. I have an associated degree in Agricultural Science. Some of my passions are gardening and arts of all kinds. If i could be anything in the world, I would be a Botanist.

I am a mother of an amazing little boy. Food was my first passion, then massage/body work and now I find joy in guiding all the young minds here at Prep N' Play. Teaching them valuable life skills and showing them all the love they deserve. My education is broad, from child development to Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology studies. I am also a licensed massage therapist. I greatly enjoy reading fiction and medical Bios and outdoor activities.
