Your Preschool in Redwood City

Teacher Stephanie

School Director

Associate in Science Degree in Early Childhood Education

My name is Stephanie Rubio and I speak English and Spanish. I have an Associate in Science Degree in Early Childhood Education which I got it from Canada College in May 2016. Also, I have my teacher permit credential and my CPR and First Aid certificates. I chose this career path after I worked as a babysitter for 3 years and also because I love spending time with children, especially now that I’m a mom I think I can learn a lot from them. As a teacher I hope to be able to contribute new and positive things for the children that they can use in the future. My goal is to continue preparing myself more at an educational level so that I can be better every day in my work and in my daily life.
In my spare time, I like to go to the movies, cook and play with my daughter, and enjoy every moment of my life.

Teacher Martha

Preschool Teacher

My name is Martha Tapia I have been in the Child Development field for at least twenty fun filled years. I have completed my teaching classes at Canada college I chose to work in the early childhood field. I am passionate about early childhood education and advocating for children and their families. I absolutely love working with children. I believe using your imagination is an important tool and skill children can develop at a very early age. I am very patient and creativity is one of my greatest strengths, perhaps why I feel working with children is as exciting for me as I hope it is for them!

Teacher Mo

Infant Teacher

Hello, my name is Mo. Growing up I always had fond memories of my teachers in early childhood classes. They were always kind, generous, and understanding while educating and motivating the students to do their best. That motivation inspired be to become a teacher just like they were to me.

I gained experience through my Associate’s in Early Childhood Education from American River College with 10 plus years of working with children from the infants to elementary. Taking my first ECE class at ARC I fell in love with learning about a child’s development, the effects of being a teacher, and the community’s influence on a child’s education.

Regarding my personal life, I have two westies that I consider my fur babies, siblings Leo and Lana. Leo, being 2 years older than Lana, is smaller in size and can cause confusion about their age and gender. In my spare time, you will find me going on walks, going on adventures with my dogs, or reading a good crime thriller.

Teacher Lisandra

Infant Teacher

Hello, I'm Miss Lisandra Galeana, I have been a preschool teacher for 6 months. I've recently graduated from college where I obtained my ECE Certificate as well as CPR and First Aid and general training certificates. You can never stop learning so I am still taking classes at College so I can continue to grow as a teacher.

Working with children is my passion and is something that makes me happy! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially with my son who is my inspiration and my motivation to keep growing as a teacher and mom.

I have a quote that I apply in my life which is ‘ ONE CHILD, ONE TEACHER, ONE BOOK, ONE PEN CAN CHANGE THE WORLD”. Which I believe is a good inspiration for all the teachers.

Teacher Vanessa

Preschool Teacher

My name is Vanessa. My background in Early Childhood began during college as a teaching assistant for an after-school program with kindergartners. From there, I was offered a teaching position at Kids Konnect- San Mateo in 2017. I enjoy being an educator in early childhood because the lasting impact one has on children goes beyond their days at preschool; it sets the foundation for their future school career. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, emergent environment while scaffolding their social and emotional development and building on their strengths.

Aside from being an educator, personal hobbies I enjoy are hiking, reading, beach trips, learning new skills, and most of all, seeing my little one grow! I have a one-year-old, Mattias-who actually attends this center. 

I am excited to be working with your children and getting to know their blooming personalities, building on their skills, and getting to meet you all- their families.
