Kalyn Ray : Director
Welcome! A little about me- My husband, Hunter, and I have been married since November of 2018 and were blessed with two beautiful children, Tatum 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 second year here at Trinity!
Kalyn serves as the Director of the preschool.

I have been the lead teacher in the eighteen months, twos, threes and pre-k classes. I also attend church at FBC Justin and teach Sunday school to 3/ 4 year olds. I have taught the last 4 summers here at Trinity Preschool and have enjoyed my time here so much that I decided to come back for the school year.

I have been married to my husband Keith for the past 30 wonderful and fun years. We have a twenty six year old son Brian who is an accountant, and a twenty three year old daughter Katie who works at a law firm in Austin. We are all graduates of The University of Texas! Our two mini Australian Shepherd dogs keep us entertained and busy in Coppell which has been our home for the last twenty three years. When I’m not working, I enjoy walking my dogs, reading, baking, shopping and traveling.
I graduated from The University of Texas with a degree in Communications. I worked in sales before having children. When they got a bit older, I began working at their preschool. I was there for a total of 14 years as an aide in the twos, threes, fours, and even the front desk. The last five years were spent in the two year old classroom: two years as an aide and three years as a lead teacher. Sadly the preschool closed, but fortunately I was referred to Trinity. I began working the summer of 2021 and absolutely love it! The two year olds are the best! They have such adorable personalities, learn so quickly each day and give the best hugs ever!!

Megan Rogers : Twos Assistant Teacher
I have been married to my wonderful husband Michael for 7 years. We have a beautiful daughter, Emory who is 3 and is attending TPP. We have the best fur baby Lucy! I spent most of my life a Pastor’s daughter, with that we lived in several different places church planting. Before moving to Texas in 2013 I spent many years living in upstate New York and I absolutely loved it.
Shortly after high school I began working in the car business and over the course of 14 years worked my way up into being a department head. After having my daughter, I decided that wasn’t for me anymore even though I loved where I was at. I stayed home with our girl for a couple years. I started working at Trinity in 2022 and loved it!
I look forward to spending time with your kiddos and watching them grow!

I am the proud mother of two daughters, Katie and Mary Beth, and one son-in-law, Stephen. In addition, I am blessed to have a 5 year old granddaughter, Grace, and a 2 year old grandson, Owen. These precious children are definitely a blessing to our family!
After growing up and living in Missouri most of my life, I decided to try something different. I moved to North Texas to be near immediate family members. (Fourteen years later, and no regrets!)
I graduated from Southeast Missouri State University, with a degree in Elementary Education. Fifteen years later, I continued my studies and obtained a Masters Degree in Education. After teaching second grade for sixteen years, I became specialized in Gifted Education and served the next ten years in middle school and high school as a GRT. Realizing I was too young and energetic to stop “playing” with children, I arrived in north Texas and immediately became a substitute teacher in the public school system.
While worshiping at Trinity Presbyterian Church, I discovered this quaint, delightful, preschool with wonderful children and parents! I have taught at TPP the past fourteen years, and hope to be here a while longer.

Peggy Torpey : Threes Assistant Teacher
My husband David and I have been married thirty-eight years. We have twenty-seven 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 March/April I plan to travel to Hawaii 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 nine years now. I have worked as an assistant, lead teacher, floater, and even substitute at different times in all the classes.

Toby Marin : PreK Lead Teacher
Hi, I’m Ms. Toby! I was born & raised in Toronto, Canada where the rest of my family (and half my heart) still call home. I moved to New York in 1997 after meeting my husband online. Lucky for us, fate was on our side and we have been happily married for 21 years and have two amazing boys. Logan, 17, a senior at Eaton High School and a student pilot and Brandon, 16, a Junior at Byron Nelson High School. My husbands career brought us to Trophy Club, Texas in 2018 and we absolutely love this beautiful state. Although I will admit, I do miss snow. It’s the Canadian in me I guess!
I have been in the education field for 15 years and this will be my third year teaching Pre-K at Trinity Private Preschool. What started out as volunteering at my sons preschool when he was 2 years old turned into a love of teaching. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of teaching children ranging from 2 years old all the way up to middle school students. But I can honestly say, Pre-K has always been my favorite and I feel so blessed to be able to spend my days with the sweetest kids in Texas!
I’m so excited to get to know my new little loves and see all the amazing things this year has in store for us!

We moved from Denver to Texas on July 10, 2020. In Denver I worked 2 years in the office of a charter school as a recruiter and translating forms from English to Spanish. Later I had the opportunity to work with 3 and 4 year olds in the early childhood program for 4 years. I started working at Trinity in the summer of 2023. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to work with wonderful teachers who love what they do.
I am so excited to get to know you and your precious children!
