Desaray Wilson, PreK Co-Teacher
Ms. Desaray started with us in 2020 coming from another center and we could not be more happy. She has great energy, a love for teaching and is a "positive Penelope" during the day. She is married to one of our state fire marshals and has a 4 year old son. Desaray has been working on her BA in Early Childhood Education at NMHU and will be graduating soon.
Rob White
Mr. Rob (as the kids call him) is our "doer of all deeds" guy and helps in his spare time around the center. You may see him dropping off much needed supplies, painting or working on the playground. He works with APS at Eldorado High School and is the Varisty Cheer Coach, so his time here at the center is very appreciated because we know he is a busy man!
