About the teacher:
I began my career in education in 2014. Prior to teaching Transitional Kindergarten, I taught preschool and elementary school. Now I get to combine my knowledge of the 2 age groups in this unique grade. I love teaching TK, and feel truly blessed to be at Santa Margarita School teaching the children of our wonderful military families. My goal is to teach your children to be independent problem solvers who are ready for their academic future emotionally, socially, and academically.
