We are Essential, and we will remain OPEN!
We would like to welcome all new and returning families to Beach Cities Montessori K-2 program. We are excited for our new journey together. As parents, you play an invaluable role in your child’s education. Working together will help ensure that we have a positive and productive year.
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.
