Welcome: 4 Year Old Classes
Ms. Andi Matysek
4's Lead Teacher - TK
Ms. Andi is a retired elementary teacher who loves kids. Since she retired from teaching at UCPS in 2018, she has continued to hone her skills as an independent tutor and preschool assistant here at My First School. After considering Mr. Mark's offer, she is delighted to get back in the classroom as a Lead Teacher in the 4's classroom. In her spare time, she loves to camp with her husband, sew for her side business, attend craft shows, and read with her three cats. Her children are grown, but live nearby so she gets to enjoy her two wonderful grandchildren. Ms. Andi is a happy addition to our staff who works hard to create a fun environment for learning.
