Kristy Currie
Director of Grace Preschool
“The most valuable lesson I’ve learned from working with children, is that each child is individual and has their own unique way of learning. If you take the time to get to know what interests a child, and follow their lead, you can set them up with tools to have a positive learning environment, and a strong foundation for learning and gaining confidence.”
Laura Steele-Barcenas
Assistant Director of Grace Preschool
“A child’s love and curiosity for learning starts at a very early age. It is key to foster a child’s most valuable personal interests in order to help solidify that foundation organically.”
Allie DiBiase
Teacher
“The most valuable lesson I have learned from teaching young children is to try to see the world through their eyes. Children have a way of seeing things in the most creative and fun ways. When I apply that way of thinking of my own life, I find that the world seems a lot brighter and a lot less complicated. My students have definitely taught me to loosen up, have more patience and have way more fun!”
Carla Hyde
Teacher
"One of the most valuable lessons I have learned from teaching young children is that all children are unique individuals with a variety of learning preferences. I have found that each child learns at their own pace, and in their own way. As a result, I set up my classroom with different activities, explorations, games, and lots of art for creative expression. I have also learned that being positive and encouraging helps with the learning process."
Loredana Gueli
Teacher
“Each day is a unique adventure because kids are always cheerful, enthusiastic and curious about everything around them.”
Danielle Currie
Teacher
"Kids and adults who work hard will eventually reach their goals of whatever they are trying to learn. Time, patience and connection with each child will bring a positive result."
Alicia Hughes
Teacher
"I decided to enter a career in Early Childhood Education because I discovered a love for nurturing developing minds while being a stay-at-home mom. I enjoy watching the children's little minds absorb new concepts as they learn to play and interact with one another. I want to help nourish their mental development and ensure they have a good base to build upon for the remainder of their education journey."
Janet Sachez-Alcazar
Teacher
“I chose a profession in ECE because I believe in teaching young minds. I love the idea of being part of the learning process of these wonderful children and hope to create a beautiful beginning experience for them in the way I would hope for my own children.”
Sara Pacheco
Teacher
“I love the chance I get to watch a child light up after leaning a new skill. I truly enjoy wanting to keep everyday fun and interesting, and want to make a real impact in the lives of future generations and shape how young student will grow."
Stacy Wilson
Teacher
“Preschoolers are incredibly competent. When we assume competence they show us such incredible things.”
Molly Winokur

“I chose a profession in Early Childhood Education because I love children. It makes my heart so happy to watch children grow and learn. Knowing I am a part of that fulfills me.”
