"I have been a part of the ECDC family for over seven years. I have a CDA in Early Childhood. Before coming to ECDC, I was at the University of Texas CDC. I love being part of the ECDC family and sharing my Catholic faith. I was born and raised in Austin and am a Texas Longhorn fan. I enjoy spending time with my family."

TONI WALTERS

Toni has been an ECDC teacher for one year and prior to that was a homemaker. Her family moved to Austin in 2016 from the Midwest so that they could plant roots in the great state of Texas. They are parishioners of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church and when Toni isn't teaching and her husband isn't litigating they can be found chauffeuring their children to their many activities. "St. Louis has brought a lot of joy into my life and it's been a blessing to be able to work alongside the other teachers and families to provide a nurturing and christ-centered education."

Ms. Cat started her career at St. Louis Early Childhood Development Center when she was just a student.  She went on to attend St. Louis School and is currently enrolled in Austin Community College's Child Development program. She has been a teacher in the ECDC program for four years, and enjoys guiding all students to a loving relationship with Jesus and preparing them for their next educational adventures!

ERIKA GIL

"Greetings to everyone, I'm Ms. Erika Gil. I'm 31 and this is my first year teaching at  ECDC in the Heavenly Angels room. Every little one has a special place in my heart and all of them are special to me. I'm a mother of 3 boys and 1 girl. I love being with my family after work and on the weekends. I love traveling with them and going on adventures as much as we can."

YIOVANI REYES

"With much delight I’m happy to say I’m a part of St. Louis’ ECDC family! I am headed towards my second year working in the school house with our “Peaceful Doves”. I am a born and raised Gulf Coast region Texan, and have now resided in Austin for the past 4 years. When I’m out of the classroom you can catch me inside the coziest corners of a café reading, or planning my next sightseeing adventure online."

JENNIFER SALINAS

"Hello, I'm Ms. Jennifer and I'm a first-year teacher in the Guiding Shepherds room. I recently graduated from The University of Texas and have found a home here in Austin. Joining the ECDC team has been such a blessing. The staff is so kind and supportive and the children bring so much joy into my day! Outside of school, I'm usually going out with friends, visiting my family in Dallas, or spending time at my favorite place in Austin - the Schoenstatt Shrine!"

TRACEY SENGELE

"Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Moved to Texas with my husband and two children. We landed in Kyle, and also have five beautiful grandchildren we are blessed to spoil weekly. I have been teaching in early childhood for 19 years, with my CDA Certificate. Before St. Louis ECDC, seven of those years, I worked in the Hays school district. Although I had a great time while I was there, I couldn’t wait to get back to St.Louis ECDC."
