I have been working for the ECE Lab School at Palomar College since 2010, and I hold a BA in Human Development, with a concentration in Children’s Services, as well as an AA in Preschool Teaching. I also hold my permit as Program Director, and I am certified as a Mentor Teacher.
I enjoy working with parents and helping them understand the importance of Socialization, Self-regulation, love, and interest in Literacy and Math activities, as well as physical development, which are focus areas for our center.

My name is Christina Mendez, and I have had the privilege of being part of the ECE Lab School since 2013. I have worked at both the San Marcos Campus and the Escondido Campus. I have really enjoyed working for the lab school, as I have grown and learned so much. I majored in Human Development with an emphasis in Children’s Services and received my Bachelor’s degree at Cal State San Marcos. I currently hold a site supervisor permit and also have an Associate’s Degree in Child Development with an emphasis in Working with Families.
I love to implement a lot of art in the classroom and watch the children use their creativity, hands, and imagination. Not only does art help development within the brain, but it is also a way of self-expression and communication. Outside of the workplace, I am a wife and a mommy, and I couldn’t be any happier. I enjoy doing outside activities, traveling with my family, music, and attending sporting events.
