Preschool Director
Barbara "Amelia" Byrne-Gonzales

Amelia has been working in the early childhood field for 14 years, and she began her journey with TBS Preschool in 2024. Amelia is passionate about shaping young minds as they will be the ones to make change in the future. Her favorite part of working with children is the light and spirit they bring, and how they express genuine love for others unconditionally.
In her free time, she enjoys getting involved with youth programs in Santa Fe and spending time with her family.


Administrative assistant
Madeline "Kay" Matich
Kay has been working in the early childhood field for 4 years. In 2021,
she graduated from Western Washington University with her B.S. in Psychology. After that, she worked in ABA services, serving children on the autism spectrum. She also worked as a nanny before she found her way to Temple Beth Shalom.
Kay loves talking to children about their interests and hearing their ideas. She also loves to dance, sing, and be silly! Kay has created meaningful and long-lasting bonds with the members of the TBS Preschool community, and hopes to be able to continue to do so in years to come.
