My name is Alyssa Martinez, and I am the Mother's Day Out Director at Faith Alive. My husband, two daughters, and I live here in New Braunfels, TX. We enjoy spending time outside and hanging out with our extended family. Whenever I am not outside or at a family gathering, I love trying out new dishes and recipes in the kitchen. I attended Texas State University and received my Bachelor of Science with a major in education. I am a certified teacher for ages pre-k through 6th grade and love working with younger children. During my time at Texas State, I was able to take an early childhood course and fell in love with working with younger students. After graduating from Texas State, I worked for four years as a kindergarten teacher here in New Braunfels. As an educator, I have learned that it is essential for students to learn academics and social/ emotional skills that will help aid them in their careers as lifelong learners. As the director of our MDO, I promise to strive for the best learning environment for your child and ensure they are cared for and loved just as I would want for my children.
