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.

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 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 am a naturally creative person, and love sharing projects with my three kids. You can find me in the kitchen cooking healthy meals, or decorating cakes. My favorite thing to do is make custom treats and decorations for parties! A perfect weekend for would be spending time with my kids at the park, paddle boarding and a picnic by the water. I was born and raised in Washington state, but have found a home here in sunny Texas! 

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, funny, almost 4 year old son, and another boy on the way. 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! I am blessed with the most amazing family in the entire world! My husband and I have been married for 2.5 years. We have one beautiful daughter and a baby coming in May 2022. We moved to Texas January 2021 and couldn't be more thankful for all Texas has given us. In my free time I enjoy DIY projects, walking our pups, and playing fantasy sports. We spend most of our weekends watching the Dodgers and serving at Church. I am super passionate about applying the Montessori philosophy in our own home. I feel privilaged to also be working in a Montessori to also be working in a Montessori school. It's a pleasure witnessing all of the first year milestones with all of our infants. 

Hi there! My name is Morgan Jarvis and I'm the Cub'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 cubs and watch them grow every day!
