Mrs. Zerbst is a Texas native but lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 18 years after graduating from the University of North Texas with a bachelor’s degree in Child Development and Family Studies. While living in the Bay Area, she helped open a new preschool program in Alameda and then transitioned to working for the onsite preschool at the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. The preschool, Golden Gate Academy, was an established “lab” school for the graduate students of the seminary, where they conducted observations and student teaching as they completed their Early Childhood Education studies. Mrs. Zerbst received her master’s in Education Leadership with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education Administration while working at GGA and then taught as an adjunct ECE professor and directed the lab school for the graduate students. She is married to a USC Trojan, has one daughter, and is excited to be back in DFW, closer to her family!
