Working with young children has always been my passion. To spend the day with children and having the opportunity to see first hand their excitement and enthusiasm for learning new things never gets old. Every day is a new day in the eyes of a 1st grader. I feel so fortunate to work in the Little Italy community here in downtown San Diego. Due to our location we are able to take advantage of this urban environment and have many opportunities to visit all that downtown has to offer. I feel by getting out of the classroom we are able to bridge the in classroom learning with real life from our past and present.
