Our Founder

Hello families! I am a former public school educator and Bay Area native with over a decade of experience as a teacher, school site, and district level administrator. My experience spans across early child development thru to adult education and everything in between. My current educational accomplishments are as listed:

 Clear Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential

Clear Administrative Services Credential 

Masters in Educational Leadership

B.A. Liberal Arts, Minor in Statistics

I do, however, consider myself a lifelong learner that will continue to expand my educational horizon in the future. My philosophy of education is that all students are capable and given the right opportunities and a multitude of access, all of our children can excel under their own definitions of success. It all starts from within the womb. 80% of a child's mind is developed by 3 years old! This is the importance of early childhood education. A child's first few years set the foundation. Studies have shown that children exposed to more experiences, a variety of play and discovery, and consistent language practice through all literary modalities (hearing, speaking, listening, and reading) from the very beginning, have a better success rate in learning to read, being able to express themselves, and overall developmental growth. 

Our Curriculum

Our program emphasizes:

-Opportunity and Access: field trips, library visits, presentations, classes, etc.

-Social/Emotional Development: monthly themes and class lessons/activities

-Project Based Learning: Students engage in weekly projects where they build and create based on our monthly SEL themes, field trip visits, books read, and language development

-Health & Wellness- healthy meals included in tuition. All meals are prepared fresh daily with ingredients from local farmers markets, utilizing the Yuka App in grocery store shopping, and items made from scratch with the help of your little ones!

-Literacy Development: We read and we read and we read and we read some more! As students grow we practice our letters, site words, and language development in many ways that are fun and engaging.

-Environmental Education: During the months of August-October, students engage in, in-depth environmental friendly lessons. We can never learn too early about how to care for our planet and communities!
