Preschool Staff

Our teachers are certified by both, California Commission on Teacher Credentialing in Child Development and the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation as part of our educational approach. High/Scope is a quality approach to early childhood care and education which has been shaped and developed by research and practice over 50 years. The central belief of High/Scope is that children construct their own learning by doing and being actively involved in working with materials, people, and ideas. Our teaching staff is trained in the California Desired Results System and receive continuous professional development throughout the school year.

Adriana has proudly served the families of our community for the past 18 years! It brings a smile to her face to see our little ones so excited to learn and make friends and gives her joy to see that many of our families are returning families that have had a child in our program in the past.
