Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

Chrystal McWilliams
Let’s get to know each other: My name is Chrystal, and I’m a proud mom of five children, whose ages range from 18 to 38, and a grandmother to six (with one more expected this December!). I was born in San Antonio and spent much of my childhood in Corpus Christi, Padre Island, and Fort Worth. I studied art, business, and fashion design at the University of North Texas in Denton.
I have a deep love for nature, family, dogs, and all things creative. In my free time, you’ll often find me making art, spending quality time with my loved ones, or playing with my energetic Siberian Husky, Tex.
