Leadership
Erica Gonzales, Director
My name is Erica Gonzales. My dream has always been to become a director and I am beyond thrilled to be one here at CCOA – Northwest! In 2011, I graduated from Texas State University with a bachelor of science in family and consumer sciences and a major in family and child development. After college, I was hired by The Children’s Center of Austin – Westlake, where I served as a teacher and then became a Curriculum Coordinator. Early childhood development has always been a passion of mine. The goal at our school is to provide an educational and loving environment for our children. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Maizie. She is my everything and being a new mom has been everything I ever could imagine
Natasha Brailovsky, Curriculum Coordinator
Hi, my name is Natasha Brailovsky. I know it’s a mouthful but you can call me Tasha for short. I have been with CCOA Steiner Ranch since February of 2018 and I fell in love with the center and the great sense of community they create with all of their families. Along with the amazing experience, I've gained here at CCOA, I have over a decade of experience in early childhood education. I started out pretty young as a preschool teacher, and I started to realize how much I enjoyed teaching. More than that I enjoyed creating a curriculum for my students and knowing that I’ve helped in their development. These little ones soak up so much and I love creating exciting new ways for them to learn. I attended the Art Institute here in Austin and received a Bachelor's in Web/Graphic Design, which definitely fed my creative side (it’s a pretty big part of me). On my downtime I hang with my family as much as possible, I game it up on my Xbox, I sketch daily, and I recently found out that I love to hike! If you have any secret trails you’d like to share, let me know!
