Kalyn Ray : Director
Welcome! A little about me- My husband, Hunter, and I have been married since November of 2018 and were blessed with three beautiful children, Tatum, Tymber, and Giuliana. We love to spend time together as a family, making memories that will last a lifetime! I come from a family of educators and Texas Christian University Alumni, GO FROGS! I have a passion for children, their education, and making a life-long impact that will positively guide each child throughout their academic career.
I graduated with a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education from Texas Christian University in May of 2017. I began my teaching career as a 2nd grade teacher at a local charter school in Fort Worth, TX. I taught 2nd grade for three years before being blessed with our sweet boy, Tatum. I was fortunate to spend a year at home raising our son before returning to work as an Area Manager for a large after-school company. I spent two years as an Area Manager overseeing ten different schools in Northwest ISD. As I began the search for Preschools for my son, I was blessed to come across the opportunity of enrolling my son in Trinity Private Preschool along with being the Director of TPP! We are both ecstatic to be entering our third year here at Trinity!
Kalyn serves as the Director of the preschool.

My husband David and I have been married thirty-nine years. We have twenty-eight year old fraternal twin sons, Jake and Brad. We moved to Keller in 2005 due to my husband’s promotion. In July 2019, Brad got married, giving me a wonderful daughter-in-law Ashley. In January 2021, Jake got married giving me another wonderful daughter-in-law Gina. On my days off, I enjoy walking my dog Hollie, sitting on my back porch, listening to music, working in the yard, cooling off in the pool, date nights with my hubby, watching Aggie, Army and Cowboys football, and going on family cruises. In April 2025 I plan to travel to Hawaii for my 60th birthday to visit Brad and Ashley and to Murphy, TX to to visit Jake and Gina.
When the twins were two, I enrolled them in a preschool at our church in Austin where I worked as an assistant and lead teacher for ages two to five. In the summers during the week of VBS, I taught Bible Story/Verse. During the school year, I taught Religious Education. Once the boys were in regular school, I was able to stay at home, but decided to get back into the early childhood education field once they graduated from high school. I have been working at Trinity Private Preschool for ten years now. I have worked as an assistant, lead teacher, floater, and even substitute at different times in all the classes.

Jennifer Anderson: PreK Assistant Teacher
Hi! My name is Mrs. Jenn, and I am thrilled to be joining Trinity Preschool. A bit about me: I am originally from Seattle, Washington, and graduated from the University of Washington in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 20 years, and we have three daughters (18, 16, and 11). In 2018, my husband’s job brought us to Southlake, Texas—Go Dragons! During the teacher shortage caused by COVID, I began subbing in the district and discovered how much joy I found working with younger students. Now that I have a senior (tearing up) and more time on my hands, I decided to dedicate my time to teaching.
In my free time, you’ll find me spending time with my family, watching my daughters’ sporting events, playing pickleball, working out, crafting, or volunteering with the National Charity League. My faith is also an essential part of my life and guides me in everything I do.
I look forward to being a part of this wonderful community and meeting all of you!
