Room 9 Master Teacher

My name is Christina Mendez and I have had the privilege of being part of the ECE Lab School for about 7 years. 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 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 sporting events.
