Mrs. Kathleen Yates – has worked with the pre-k 4 year olds since 1999. “Three of my four children attended St Paul’s. I feel that it was the best preschool experience they could have had.” Mrs Yates loves creating exciting art projects and is full of wonderful ideas! The children in her class are blessed with a teacher who really embraces child-driven learning! She is LOVE in the shape of a teacher and our VPK B class is blessed to have her!

 Mrs. Kendra Voet – leads our VPK A class for 4 yr. olds.  “My husband and I have two adult children and I have over 20 years of teaching experience in Christian education. Most days you can hear us singing songs and silly poems in class. I believe that every child is special and deserves all the love you can give them. I love getting messy in the classroom, laughing, and having fun with the children all while discovering wondrous things together throughout the day.” As you can see, Mrs. Voet fits right in!

Mrs. Cary Tobias – We’re delighted to introduce the new teacher of our PreK-3 class! Mrs. Tobias has lived and worked in the Delray/ Boynton area for over thirty years. Her daughter went to St. Paul’s Day School when Mrs. Daniell was the director. Cary and her family have always loved this school. (Daughter Lily is now getting married to a young military man in April!)  Mrs. Tobias has been teaching early childhood for over twenty years, and is very excited to be part of St. Paul’s staff.

Mrs. Liz Ryan, Director – has worked with young children since 1993 and was a teacher and director at the preschool at her parish in Coral Springs, FL before moving to Illinois in 2001. There she was director of all the child and youth programming at her parish. She feels blessed to be back in South Florida and back to her roots with the preschool-aged children here at St. Paul’s Day School and knew it was the right place to be from the very start! With the retirement of beloved director Patti Daniell, Liz becomes the third director in the school’s 59 year history! “This is a very special place! Children know they are loved and valued the minute they walk through the door!”
