I started working at LCA a little over a year ago. I wanted to work here because of my love of children and also because of my mother. My mother attended St. Augustine Academy as a child for kindergarten through second grade, and then again in high school. She was an incredible, faith-filled, gracious woman who taught me and my 9 siblings what is really important in life: faith, family and kindness. But mostly she always believed in my special gift with children. I feel her guiding me everyday when I’m here. No job rewards like a small child telling you they love you or hearing their laughter, or seeing their wonder at the simplest things. That’s why I love working here.
