I have been the director/teacher of Morningside Lutheran Preschool since
August, 2003. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education,
an Early Childhood Endorsement, and a Special Education Endorsement.
Prior to me working at the preschool, I was an in-home daycare
provider and before that a substitute teacher.
I am married to Mark, who works for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, and we
have 3 boys. All of our children attend school at Sergeant Bluff-Luton.
I have a true passion for working with children and it is a joy for me
to go to “work” every day.
If you have any questions regarding the preschool, our programs or would like to see it first hand, please call me.
Holly Mathiason
Teacher Assistant
I have been the Teacher Assistant at Morningside Lutheran Preschool
since December, 2007. I have a Level II Para-Educator Certficate which
focuses on Early Childhood Education (preschool through grade 3).
Before coming to MLP, I worked at Terra in Sioux City and Pasco,
Washington. After my son was born, I became a stay-at-home mom and came
to MLP after he started Kindergarten.
My husband, Rod, and I have 2 children. In my time away from preschool;
I enjoy being with my family, cheering on the Sioux City Musketeers
hockey team, cooking and listening to music.
I am blessed to have a career that I love. I am excited to come to work
everyday and play and learn alongside our preschool friends!
I look forward to meeting you and your child!
