MS. ADRIANA,Toddler Teacher.
“I love children and because of that, I’ve worked with many different ages from infancy to preschool. Each age and stage bring to the table a variety of expectations and discoveries, which makes teaching magical!
I like to engage children in a variety of materials and learning opportunities in the classroom. Music and movement is one of my favorite activities with the children, because you see them in their natural I enjoy interacting with the parents especially at the end of each day and to talk about how their child’s day went.”
MS. ANA, Preschool Teacher.
“I have been teaching children for more than 30 years. I find it so rewarding at the start of the day to receive big hugs and sweet smiles from the little ones.
I was blessed to have 2 daughters who attended the same school where I worked at. My girls throughout their school lives had a love for school, teachers, and knowledge. That truly inspired me to work in the field that I love. I believe teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning.”
MS. ANAMALY R. Preschool Teacher and Asst. to the Director.
“I am easy-going, and I enjoy helping others. I like to go on adventures with my family in my spare time.
What I appreciate most about teaching young children is the ability to create unique individual bonds with each child and their families. It is truly important for me to build strong connections with families, but what is most rewarding is getting the child’s full sense of trust in me and hearing a child telling me they love me.
I believe that a child’s heart is the most beautiful and pure of all, and if you’re able to build that kind of bond, you’re guaranteed to nurture a safe, loving, and harmonious school environment and experience.”
MS. GRISEL. Preschool Teacher.
“I am a proud Mama of 3 wonderful adults and 2 grandkids. I have been working with young children for over 30 years! My passion for kiddos is what has kept me young at heart!
Their endless imagination, giggles, smiles, and sincere affection (especially when asking for hugs or just saying “I love You, Ms. Grisel”) bring sunshine to my life! Also, building relationships with the families motivates me to come to work with lots of hope to make a difference in the children’s lives.”
MS. JESSYKA. Preschool Teacher.
“Teaching preschool is incredibly rewarding because it allows me to be part of the foundational moments in young children’s lives. Every day is a new adventure, filled with the excitement of discovery and the joy of watching curiosity take flight. I love the opportunity to create a nurturing environment where children can explore, imagine, and develop essential skills. The process of guiding them through their first experiences with meaning, helping them build confidence, and celebrating their milestones is profoundly gratifying. Each small breakthrough and moment of enthusiasm from the kids reaffirms my passion for fostering their growth and development during these crucial early years.”
MS. JUDITH. Preschool Teacher.
“Working with children daily is indeed very rewarding especially when you witness them discover many little things, and as they express their emotions in ways they know how. I love to teach them simple Spanish words pertaining to body parts, colors, shapes, numbers, and things.
I appreciate the trust of the parents and the support I receive from them. I have been working with children for 4 years and it has been the best experience thus far. Young children are adorable!”
MS.LATANTHA. Preschool teacher and Asst. to the Director.
“Teaching preschool is a source of immense joy because it allows me to be a key part of the early stages of a child’s journey. Each day presents a fresh perspective and opportunity to ignite the imagination and foster a love for learning in a supportive and playful environment. The enthusiasm and creativity that preschoolers bring to their interactions and experiences are so contagious, all the while making every moment of teaching both dynamic and meaningful. Witnessing the children’s growth, from mastering new skills and gaining confidence, provides a deep sense of satisfaction and appreciation for the highlight that impact early childhood development.
Being able to contribute to their formative years and to watch them thrive are what makes teaching preschool so rewarding and meaningful.”
MS. MARIA. Toddler Teacher.
“I love teaching and guiding toddlers as they are always teaching me something as well; toddlers teach you how to be playful and have a huge heart. Every toddler is unique, and each learns differently.
One of my favorite parts of being their teacher is when I witness a child reach a milestone that they have been practicing, such as cleaning up after playing or saying their first words. This makes me extremely joyous and proud of their accomplishments, because they are absorbing the skills presented to them despite how “tiny” they are! Toddlers rock!”
MS. MIA. Preschool Teacher.
“As this is now only my second year of teaching, I can say it has taught me so much about children and how curious their little minds are. Everyday I enjoy listening to their stories that they share about their families and friends, as well as answering their questions and getting an insight on how they view the world.
Teaching children has been such a blessing. My favorite part is that we’re able to build new bonds with a new group of kids and families each year. While the end of the year is always the most rewarding because we get to see how far each child has grown, not just academically, but as their own person as well.”
MS. MONIKA. Preschool Teacher.
“I love to spend time with children, and I enjoy watching how they play, laugh together, and communicate in their own “child’s” language. The children make me smile and laugh always. They make my day just by asking silly questions or giving silly answers to questions.
I think we can learn a thing or two from them and can teach us what unconditional love means. I am ecstatic whenever the children come to me for help, hugs, and reassurance.
I am happy to be one of the teachers in this school. I truly love to see the children play, learn, and grow.”
