Daisies Classroom – PreK-4

Abby, Senior Lead Teacher

Hey there! I’m Ms. Abby! I have been working with young children in different capacities for about 10 years, but I finally feel I’ve found the sweet spot in the Pre-K classroom at LTP! When I’m not in the classroom I love reading, spending time with friends and family and being outside and learning from nature.

McKenna, Co-Teacher

Hello! My name is McKenna. I am finishing my Human Development and Family Studies degree at Stephen F. Austin State University, planning to graduate in December of this year. Working at the Thinkery is a dream come true as I used to come to the museum ALL the time as a child, When I’m not at work or studying, you can find me out hiking with my dog, Pepper, or gardening on my patio.

Hi, I’m Nico (he/him and they/them)! I was born and raised in Austin, TX, and when the weather is nice, I love to get out into the hill country and spend time in nature.

I have been working with kids ages 2-6 since I was a teenager, and I am so happy to be here at the Little Thinkers Preschool.
