NOW ENROLLING

My​ ​name​ ​is​ ​Candice​ ​De​ Vivo, I​ ​will be teaching the first and second grade program. My ​ B.S. degree in​ ​Elementary​ Education​ is​ ​from ​​Iowa State ​University. ​I ​have​ had​ the ​unique opportunities​ to​ ​teach​ ​​in​ public​​ and​​ ​private​ settings with ​an​ ​accumulation​​ ​of​ ​14​ ​years teaching ​experience. Some​ of​ ​​the​ ​extracurricular roles​ I enjoy are coaching volleyball, reading, going to the movies, and swimming! My husband and I have two wonderful children and a kitty. We are enjoying the amazing SoCal weather with bike rides on the Strand, long walks on the beach, and shopping at our local farmers markets. I look forward to our new adventure together this year and getting to know this special community!

 My name is Hazel Duque, I will be teaching the kindergarten classroom. I am certified in Montessori learning with Early Childhood Education and have an overall 14 year teaching experience. I am a firm believer of the benefits of Montessori, not only in an academic perspective, but also socially. I am looking forward to this new journey merging my Montessori background with a more traditional classroom setting. One of my extracurricular activities is keeping up with my professional development and continuing education. On weekends I love spending time with my family. My daughter and I enjoy walks with the dogs, arts and crafts but the best parts I’d say is making breakfast together.
