Our Staff

Mrs. Guie Lopez-Ramirez

Director

My name is Guie Lopez, and I am honored to serve as your Center Director. I am pleased to begin my 14th year in the early childhood education field, working alongside dedicated families, exceptional teachers, and amazing children.

I graduated from J. W. Nixon High School and earned my Bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M International University. I am currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at Texas A&M International University to continue strengthening my leadership and management skills.

Throughout my career with KinderClub TOO, I have remained committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment for every child. My CPR and First Aid certifications are current, and I regularly participate in professional development opportunities to stay informed on best practices in early childhood education, child development, leadership, and licensing standards.

As Center Director, I am dedicated to building strong partnerships with our families, supporting and empowering our staff, and creating meaningful learning experiences that help every child reach their full potential. I believe that a child’s success is built through collaboration between parents, teachers, and school leadership, and I am committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and respected.

I am an energetic, enthusiastic, dedicated, and compassionate leader who is deeply committed to the well-being, growth, and success of every student entrusted to our care.

Patricia Dominguez

Assistant Director

I am Patricia Dominguez, and during the 2026–2027 school year, I proudly began my 30th year in the field of education. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of making a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I have served. My passion for teaching began soon after graduating from Martin High School, and that passion continues to inspire me every day.

My journey as an educator began at a learning center, where I worked from 1996 to 2009. After 13 rewarding years, I accepted a new opportunity at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School, where I served in several teaching roles. From 2010 to 2012, I taught sixth-grade Social Studies and Science. In May 2013, I transitioned to teaching Pre-K 4, a position I held until May 2019.

In August 2019, I began my journey at KC2 as a Pre-K teacher. During my first year, I embraced the opportunity to become a Texas School Ready (TSR) participant. Over the following three years, I worked closely with administrators and mentors through the Children’s Learning Institute to successfully complete the full certification program. This experience provided me with valuable knowledge, research-based teaching strategies, and instructional techniques that strengthened my ability to support our youngest learners.

In August 2022, I was honored to be promoted to Assistant Director. In this role, I work closely with the administrative team to create meaningful opportunities for our students while supporting teachers and families. During the 2026–2027 school year, I am beginning my fourth year as the Center Assistant Director.

I remain committed to lifelong learning by participating in ongoing professional development opportunities that continue to strengthen my leadership, expand my knowledge, and enhance my ability to serve our families. My goal is to help provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and succeed.

Hello my name is Scarlett and I’ve been working with children for a short time, but despite my short time I’ve felt I have made a special bond with each and every student in my past class. I had a good experience working with children because I love to see their faces light up when they learn something new or develop a new skill especially how excited they get to show their family members.
