Teacher Bio: Emily Dinunzio

Hello! My name is Emily Dinunzio and this is my fourth year teaching in the Otter Class and my fifth year with CMP. I am originally from Pennsylvania which is where I received my Bachelors degree from Penn State University. After living in Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado, and South Lake Tahoe, I am happy to be living and teaching in Sacramento! I received my California Multiple Subject Teaching credential in 2018 and already hold both Montessori Teaching Credentials in Early Childhood and Lower Elementary. When not teaching, I enjoy being outside or traveling as much as possible! I love to hike, camp, ski, and run. I also can't forget to mention that I live with a sassy yet lovable cat named Iris and can't wait to add a dog to that mix!

Teaching Assistant Bio: Nichole Coronado

Hello, my name is Nichole Coronado and this is my 4th year as a Teacher Assistant in the Otter classroom. I am a mom of 7, soon to be 8. Before I began working at CMP I was a homeschooling mom and we utilized a lot of the Montessori method and materials in our daily learning. I was thrilled to be back to the CMP community and into the classroom helping guide students in their learning. In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, playing board games with my family, and crafting. I look forward to this new school year and establishing connections with all of our students and families.
