Dear Catalpa ECC Families and Community Members,

It is such an honor to be able to serve you as the Principal of Catalpa Early Childhood Center!  Preschool education is such a passion of mine and I’m thrilled to be leading a group of talented early childhood educators to make learning come to life for our littlest minds.  Through a play based learning approach, students at Catalpa ECC will be exploring their environment, making social connections, relationships and building problem solving & critical thinking skills that will set them up for success throughout their entire educational career.  

As we navigate this journey together, I promise to listen, be supportive, inclusive and continue to learn and grow in my own craft as an early childhood educator and leader.  Thank you for entrusting me with your child's education. 

Yours in Education, 

Principal Galati
