  • Miranda Fry, Assistant Director

    Hello my name is Miranda Fry and I am excited to be joining Manchaca United Methodist CDC! I have worked in the Early Childhood development field for five years. My favorite thing about working with children is that there is such an exciting amount of growth at this stage in their development. It is a true joy to see their smiling faces; to watch them grow, and to be a part of the joy and wonder in all that they do.


    My husband, Seth, and I have two wonderful boys, Samuel &

    Nathaniel, who keep us very busy. We all love spending time outdoors, camping, and going to sporting events. I love to go to the movies, cooking/baking, trying new recipes, and spending time with my family. I am excited in building a relationship with each of you, and I look forward to the future with Manchaca United Methodist CDC!!
