Our Director

I believe that learning should be play-based and should take place in an environment that not only invokes a sense of wonder and creativity, but also a sense of warmth and security.
Our Teachers
DEDICATED TO THE GROWTH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
At Teddy Bear Preschool LLC, our teachers are well-educated in the field of child development. They all have college credits or degrees in Child Development. They also stay current with research on brain development and children’s issues by attending conferences, seminars, and in-service trainings. All our teachers are certified in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR and First Aid.

My passion for working with children began at age eleven, and after attending the college courses necessary and earning my Child Development Certificate, I began the career that I truly love. I have worked with young children for over 23 years, the past 16 of them at Teddy Bear Preschool. It feels great to witness so many "firsts." I get to be a part of their messy, amazing learning process. I get to see their smiles, and most of all, I get to form meaningful friendships with children and see how I can impact them every day!

I have been working with infants and young children for over 30 years, beginning as a volunteer while in high school. My college courses included Child Development and Infant/Toddler. I found my home with Teddy Bear Preschool eleven years ago. I truly enjoy teaching and building strong relationships with the children at our preschool. They never fail to amaze me with their enthusiasm for learning and their capacity for love.

I have been working with children since 1988. I have an Associates Degree in Child Development. I have been working at Teddy Bear Preschool for 8 years. Spending time with children and watching them grow brings me a lot of joy. Each day is a new and interesting adventure!

I have been working with children for over eight years. I obtained my associates degree in early childhood education development at Monterey Peninsula College and will graduate with my bachelors in human development and family studies, Fall 2020 at California State University, Monterey Bay. I love teaching because everyday is full of surprises. I strongly support child’s social-emotional development because every child is unique and gifted in their own way. I understand that each individual child has their own strengths and weaknesses.

My name is Veronica Trinidad, and I have been working with children for five years. I have worked with all ages of children from infants through 12 years old. I am 25 years old, and I have my associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Monterey Peninsula College. I plan to attend at CSUMB and maintain my Bachelors Degree in Human Development & Family Services. I am a believer that children learn through play. As their teacher, I want to make them grow and brighten their day by having trust, respect, and to create a great relationship with all of my students.
Our TEAM
DEDICATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHOLE CHILD
Our teachers are genuinely interested in what the children are doing, how they are feeling, and what they have to say.
Teachers bend, kneel, or sit down to establish eye contact when talking with children. Teachers show respect for children’s feelings, ideas, and respond quickly and positively to children’s needs and questions.
Our teachers work in partnership with families to help children develop their full potential.
