I have been working with the San Carlos School District for nearly five years, and during this time, I have developed a strong passion for early childhood education. I am eager to pursue further education in this field to enhance my professional growth and deepen my understanding of children's psychology. I believe that gaining this insight will enable me to support our students more effectively.
In my free time, you can often find me listening to music or enjoying a peaceful walk. I find that these activities help me recharge and inspire my work with children. I look forward to connecting with the kids daily, fostering their emotional and physical development, and creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive. I am excited about the opportunities ahead and the positive impact we can make together!

Hello! I began my journey as a paraeducator in the LEAP preschool program on Halloween last year. With 25 years of experience in both large and small non-profits within the disability and education sectors, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my role. Teaching has always been my aspiration, though various circumstances have shaped my path along the way.
In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing at home and traveling with my family and our two dogs. I am truly hopeful that my time in the San Carlos School District will make a lasting impact, helping young children reach their full potential and thrive in their educational journeys.
I have had the opportunity to work with children ranging from two years of age to fifth grade. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Education from the College of Notre Dame. Currently, I possess ten years of teaching experience and am an alumnus of Berkley College of Music.
Hello! My name is Emeline, but I also go by Ms.Em, or just Em for short. I am currently a second year at CSM and majoring in Biology. I have always loved working with kids whether it was teaching Sunday School at my church, or babysitting for family and friends. My goals include providing children with the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and welcome environment. I aspire to help kids develop into the best versions of themselves they can be.
At Heather Elementary, TKELP provides a structured, supportive, and engaging after-school environment tailored to the needs of Transitional Kindergarten students. Each afternoon includes a balance of indoor activities, creative play, and outdoor exploration in familiar campus spaces. Outdoor play takes place on the upper playground, the Preschool playground, and the TK patio, offering a variety of developmentally appropriate areas for movement, exploration, and social interaction. TK students are supported by trained TKELP staff who prioritize safety, consistent routines, and smooth transitions from the TK classroom into the program. Daily activities are thoughtfully planned to support social-emotional growth, independence, and positive peer relationships at the end of the school day.
