My journey began in 1994 as a Palomar College Child Development student completing observations at the CDC. Shortly after, I joined the team as a Teacher\u2019s Aide and continued to advance within the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In 1997, I earned my Bachelor\u2019s degree in Liberal Studies from CSUSM and was promoted to Master Teacher. I was thrilled to begin this next phase of my career, teaching toddlers and learning from the experienced educators around me. In 2003, I stepped away from my position to focus on raising and educating my own children\u2014a rewarding chapter that lasted 11 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In May 2014, I returned to the Lab School part-time, and since January 2017, I have served full-time as a Site Supervisor in a leadership role. I currently hold a Director Permit through the California Department of Education. In this position, I wear many hats: overseeing enrollment, managing the food program, maintaining our website and waitlist data, creating promotional materials, organizing and distributing the monthly newsletter, and assisting in classrooms as needed. In 2021, I earned my Master\u2019s Degree in Early Childhood Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I truly enjoy supporting families and building strong relationships. Sharing our program and watching children grow and develop a love for learning is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When I\u2019m not at the Lab School, you\u2019ll find me playing games with family and friends, hiking at Dixon Lake, cross-stitching, baking, or tending to my succulent garden. Giving back to the community is a passion of mine, and my family has been involved in several youth programs and clubs over the years. My three children are now young adults, each pursuing their own goals and dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I look forward to meeting you and partnering with your family to support and serve you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;font-size: 20pt\">ECE Lab School Liaison<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/ecelabschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/06\/Tanesssa.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Tanessa Sanchez, ECE Lab School Liaison\" class=\"wp-image-2344\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;object-fit:cover;width:257px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/ecelabschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/06\/Tanesssa.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/ecelabschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/06\/Tanesssa-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;font-size: 16pt\">Tanessa Sanchez<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"mailto:tsanchez@palomar.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tsanchez@palomar.edu<\/a><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;font-size: 12pt\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;font-size: 12pt\">760-744-1150 x5011<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Greetings and hello. My journey began in the 1990\u2019s running a home daycare to stay home with my own son before we both went on to preschool and elementary school. For the last 25 years, I have enjoyed teaching and working with children from 18 months to 64 years old, from preschool to community college. A true representation that you are never too old to learn new things. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Child Development &amp; Education department where I find great joy in sharing my adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">My many roles at Palomar include full-time faculty, the California Early Childhood Mentor Teacher Coordinator, and the Lab School Liaison. I am a strong advocate of early childhood education and raising the level of professionalism for both those working in the field as well as the children and families we serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Working alongside the ECELS and witnessing the wonderful opportunities for students of all ages to learn, grow, and develop as they strive to reach their potential fills my bucket upon each visit. Their philosophy and standards of teaching continue to engage and inspire growth and relationships. Together we strive to build and strengthen our community and it often starts with our youngest future Comets!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECE Lab School Coordinator\/Director Tamara Holthaus tholthaus@palomar.edu 760-744-1150 x2578 My name is Tamara Holthaus and I am the Early Childhood Education Lab School Coordinator.
