Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Mrs. Achabou
Hello, my name is Mrs. Achabou, and I am delighted to be a Pre-Kindergarten teacher! I bring over 10 years of experience working with children and families and have a true passion for creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education in French (K–12) from École Normale Supérieure des Enseignants in Algeria, my home country. Before moving to the United States with my family, I taught high school for a year, and since then I have continued to dedicate my career to early childhood education.
Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my family, crocheting special pieces for loved ones, painting, and reading in multiple languages, including Arabic and French. I look forward to getting to know you and your children this year. Together, we will build a joyful classroom community filled with learning, laughter, and care.

Ms. Schoenduby
Hi! My name is Ms. Schoenduby. I am currently participating in the ACC Tech Teach program as I work toward earning my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights at the gym and playing video games on lazy days with my two cats. Although I was born in Waco, I moved to the Austin area when I was eight years old and have lived here ever since. Nurturing children as they grow into their unique selves is a true passion of mine and incredibly rewarding. I hope to inspire children to stay active, be creative, and explore their interests regularly. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of their learning journey!
