Marilyda Chacon | Preschool Assistant

First Year at ACA: 2020

While Marilyda Chacon has been a preschool assistant for the past three years, her family has been with ACA since her oldest son joined preschool 11 years ago. Marilyda comes from a family that cares deeply for, and believes strongly in, the blessing of Christian education. She desires to live a life saturated in God’s truth and the beauty of his creation, while pointing others to God’s truth and beauty. 

Marilyda grew up in Canada and moved to Colorado after graduating from college. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Dordt University, a Christian liberal arts institution, in Northwest Iowa. In her free time, Marilyda reads young adult fiction, maintains the ACA library, enjoys paddleboarding, helps her clients to declutter, takes road trips with family, and connects with old and new friends at church and school. Marilyda and her husband of 17 years, Steve, have four children: Ryker (9th), Bowden (8th), Ellery (5th) and Cooper (3rd). 

“…Lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul…. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” Deuteronomy 11:18-19
