Spanish Teacher 

My children inspired me to follow my dreams. My dreams included wanting to make a difference in the world.

I believe every child can accomplish great things. What makes me an outstanding teacher is that I make sure every child is learning and engaged with the activities at hand.

Child Development Associate (CDA) 

From a very young age, I always admired my teachers and their dedication to education. In particular, I admired one of my elementary school teachers who became my role model to study education because the love and dedication she had for all her students could be felt by everyone. Therefore, I decided to concentrate my bachelor’s in early childhood education. With exceptional education, our young children will be the future doctors, engineers, educators, and even the future president of this great country.

The responsibilities of my job as a child development associate are to assist the classroom teacher and students in their educational needs as well as their personal ones. I prepare all the materials necessary to carry out the classroom teacher’s daily lesson plans. In addition, I assist the students to explore all our centers throughout the classroom where they gain more knowledge of how materials work and what they are used for. Furthermore, I help students with the transitions in the classroom in a fun and engaging way to keep everyone safe and on task. I help students learn through reading books, playing with toys, playing education games, and social emotional interactions, always keeping in mind all the individual needs of each of my students. I make sure that the classroom environment is safe and fun for all my students who are under my daily care. Every day is a challenge when you work with young children, who have such an amazing imagination and are full of questions that must be answered appropriately for their age and cognitive development. I am completely satisfied with my job because watching my young students learn and grow is a wonderful thing to witness. As the years go by, seeing how my students have obtained so much knowledge, watching them succeed in their educational journey, and seeing how their dreams come true is something that fulfills my heart. I wouldn’t change my job for anything!
