My name is Robin Blankenship. I am the 2 day 2 year old teacher at Grace Episcopal Preschool. I have lived in Georgetown for 10 years with my husband Al and 3 children; Matthew 10, Andrew 6, and Sara Grace 4. Matthew is in the 4th grade at McCoy Elementary, Andrew is in the 1st grade at Frost Elementary and Sara Grace attends preschool here at Grace Episcopal Preschool. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Education from the University of North Texas in Denton. I taught public school for 8 years at the Middle School level where I taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Science and I have taught preschool for 3 years. I decided to be a stay at home mom when Sara Grace was born, but couldn’t stand to stay away from teaching. I have taught at the 4 year old level 2 different years and at this is my second year to teach at the 2 year old level. I absolutely love working with children, no matter what the age. I feel so blessed to be able to work in a field that I love and doubly blessed to work where I choose here at Grace Episcopal Preschool. I thank God for putting me here to be able to plant the seeds of learning in new little minds. We would love for you to drop in and visit us any time.

Diane’s wish for her students is that they develop a love for learning in a stimulating, print-rich environment.  Through fun and challenging activities, she expects her students to develop socially, intellectually, and spiritually.  Her goal is that her students gain self-confidence and independence in preparation for Kindergarten.  Diane enjoys sewing, reading, power-walking, and spending time with her family.

My name is Karrie Muñoz.  I am the 3 day two year old teacher here at Grace Episcopal Preschool.  I live in Georgetown with my husband, Michael and my son, Joseph who is 14 years old and an 8th grader at Benold Middle School.  Michael and I have been married 7+ years.  He brought into my life three bonus daughters, Kelley, Michelle and Emily.  Emily is 12 and a 7th grader at Benold Middle school.  Kelley and her husband Justin are the parents of our precious grandbaby, Audree Grace; she’s one….and spoiled.  All of us are either graduates of, or students of Georgetown ISD.

I have been in a teaching environment for the better part of 10 years.  I began at the middle school level and moved on the 9th grade for eight years.  I decided to “quit work” the year before last and focus on the business that Michael and I started four years ago.  That’s when my friend, Mrs. Neitsch, introduced me to GEP.  I would become the teacher for 3-day-2s…for “just” three days.  I have enjoyed my experience at GEP and have been truly blessed.  The little ones are so full of spirit and eager to learn and love. I believe that God has a distinct purpose for every child’s life before their feet ever hit the ground.  I am honored that He has found a place for me to be a Gardener of Growth and plant the seed for a life of learning, love and spiritual development.  As their first real teacher, I know how important it is to provide a fun and safe learning experience.  Feel free to drop in and play with us.
