Kalyn Ray : Director<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

I’m ecstatic to be entering my 4th School Year at TPP!<\/p>\n

Kalyn serves as the Director of the preschool.<\/em><\/p>\n
