Meet the Teachers

Ms. Catherine, Lead Educator

Hi I am Catherine Cole and am excited to be joining the team at KECC/Robinson.  I have been in the field of early childhood education for over ten years. I have had roles as a preK teacher and an early interventionist.  I graduated with my bachelors in early childhood education from Fontbonne University.  I also received my masters in early childhood special education from UMSL.

I love to help children grow and learn across all areas of development.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Ms. Ashley, Classroom Educator

Hi, my name is Ashley Mueller and I am with Pre-K at Robinson this year. I have been working with children since I was a teenager, but professionally since 2015. I love watching young minds learn and grow! I have my Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development with an emphasis in early childhood. 

When I’m not working, you can find me playing video games, traveling, exploring parks, and at festivals. I can’t wait to have a fun year at Robinson and get to know all the great kids in my class!

Ms. Emily, Classroom Educator

Hi! My name is Emily Schiller. I am a dual certified teacher, in early childhood education and elementary education. I hold my Bachelor's degree from UMSL in Elementary Education.

In 2015, I joined KECC and worked for Kirkwood School District before that as a TA.  I have taught in the several preschool rooms and was a flexible staff member before joining the Robinson team!

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, and going to Bull Shoals Lake with my husband and dog.

I firmly believe that all children learn differently and at their own pace. I look forward to getting to know your family and getting to teach your child!
