My name is Yolanda Valdez. This is my second year at working in Calvary's Preschool 2 program. I've been working with young children for the last 20 years and have raised two children of my own. In my free time I enjoy cooking family recipes, and tending to my garden. I also love coffee, puzzles, and crocheting. I'm so excited to be part of the Rainbow Room Preschool 2 Team this year.

Raquel's approach to early childhood education seamlessly blends learning with enjoyment, a philosophy she first learned while raising her own two children. With a passion for nurturing young minds, Raquel loves to create engaging activities that promote both education and fun. 

In her free time, she loves tending to her vibrant garden of flowers and vegetables, which often inspires creative learning experiences for children. She's excited to join the Preschool 2 Rainbow Room team this year!
