 My husband and I moved to Austin from the Washington, D.C. area in 2007. We have been members of St. Thomas More parish since then and two of our four children have attended our preschool.  I've been an assistant at STMPS with Ms. Blanca since 2017.  It was so much fun working as a substitute, I hoped to officially join the preschool team.  And here I am!  After starting in the 2 ½ year old class, I am now with the 3’s and absolutely love it!
We strive to foster a stimulating and nurturing classroom while encouraging growth in areas such as creativity, communication, problem-solving, social and fine motor skills. Understanding that every child progresses and develops differently, Ms. Blanca and I work with each student at their own pace. I am so excited and thankful to be a part of your child's early learning experience!

 I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.  I moved to the United States with my family in 2006.  My husband Ran and my precious children Rowena, 17, Radeesh, 13, and Ranan, 8, have been St. Thomas More parishioners for the past six years.  
I have been working at STMPS since September 2017 with the 3 year old age group.  I have also been a Religious Education teacher for the past 5 years, teaching 4 year olds, Kindergarten, and the 6th graders.  
During my free time, I enjoy baking, decorating cakes and spending time with my family.  I love to travel and explore different cultures and different food.  
I started the love for teaching, after being involved in my own children's education journey.  I hold a paraprofessional certificate in Montessori education and a diploma in secretarial studies from Ladies College in Colombo Sri Lanka.  My favorite part about working with children is seeing their joy as they discover new interest and learn new skills.  

Ms. Janet
 I have been a teacher assistant at STMPS since 2000.  I started as a 2's assistant and have been a 3's assistant for the past 3 years.  I have 3 daughters that have gone to STMPS and I have 2 beautiful grandchildren who I adore!  My girls had such a great experience at the preschool that I decided to join the staff.  I loved it so much that I'm still here 19 years later.  It is truly amazing to see how these children grow and change during the year and I feel truly blessed to be a part of their journey. 

Ms. Pat
 My husband, John, and I have been members of St. Thomas More Parish for 26 years.  We have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren.  We are very active in our parish.  I am an assistant teacher in the 3 year old classroom.  I have been teaching for 6 years and worked as a substitute teacher for 3 years.  I look forward every year to meeting new children to work with.  I hope to provide an atmosphere where the children can have a positive, rewarding and fun experience in which to learn.  
My work with ministries includes Bereavement, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, Gift Shop volunteer in the summer, Fun Fest, and STM Women's Group.  I also work in the St. Thomas  More Nursery.  I hope to offer insight and ideas to make the Parish of St. Thomas More the best it can be.

 I moved to Austin in 2006 and became a Member of St Thomas More community.  I love our church, school and my life here. I became an assistant in the 2 1/2 year old classes and moved to the 3 year old class shortly after. I have been working here for 13 years and just love what I do.  The children are amazing as are their parents.   It gives me joy to see these little sponges learn, grow and play in a faith-filled environment.  All the ladies here are wonderful friends and co-workers.
I have been blessed with three children and nine grandchildren which I adore. I am a Eucharist minister, bring Eucharist to the homebound, make ready for Mobile Loaves and Fishes, linen care, adoration, and bereavement team.   Most of all these children give meaning to my life.
