About Cara O’Brien:

Cara O’Brien, otherwise known to her students as Mrs. O, is the Director of the preschool at St. Rose. She has 8+ years of experience working professionally with young children and their families. Cara obtained her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Western Oregon University. She believes kids learn best through hands-on experiences and is dedicated to creating a program that is centered around the Mission of St. Rose. Any free time is spent making memories with her husband, daughter, and pets (3 dogs & 2 cats) or reading a good book! 

Why did you choose St. Rose?  

After graduating from college and starting a family, Iknew she wanted to move back to the local community she was born and raised in. When I accepted the position, I immediately felt welcomed home! Over the last year my love for the school culture, students, and families has grown immensely.
