I went through the Child Development Program at Palomar College and obtained my AA in Child Development, as well as 3 certificates in Child Development. I decided to go back to school to further my education in 2008, and I obtained my BS in Social Science with a concentration on children. I have a son who was born in 2012, and we enjoy spending time in sunny San Diego at the beach, park, and local amusement parks. I feel I can go to work every day and enjoy the children in my classroom who encourage me to look at things in a different way. These children are the future, and I enjoy watching them grow and develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n sdebaun@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 3379<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bio coming soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n kgutierrezortiz@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 3476<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello, my name is Karina Gutierrez-Ortiz, and I have been working at the lab school since 2016 and became a Master Teacher in 2020. I am a first-generation graduate from Palomar College with an AA in Child Development. I also have a Site Supervisor permit and earned a certificate as an infant and toddler teacher. While attending Palomar, I did my student teaching in Room 1 with the infants and learned so much. My favorite part about being a teacher in early childhood is watching children learn new skills through play. Some of my favorite things to incorporate in the classroom are music and movement, and sign language. I am very passionate about working with parents because parents are a child\u2019s most important teachers. When I\u2019m not at the Lab School, I enjoy taking my dog to the beach and spending time with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kluna@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 3278<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello, my name is Karen Luna. I have been working at the ECE Lab School since 2019, and I truly enjoy it. I have received an Associate’s Degree in Child Development from Palomar College and a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development from Cal State San Marcos. I am quite outgoing and adventurous. I enjoy going to the beach, parks, and traveling. One of my goals when it comes to children is to make them feel important and valued. I enjoy teaching them through play such as free play, water play, walks, and cooking activities. I love to expand the curiosity of a child\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n smccann1@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 2576<\/p>\n\n\n\n My name is Sylvie McCann, and I am one of the master teachers here at the ECELS. I am from Belgium and have lived in San Diego for about 20 years. I have two daughters in their twenties. I have been working with children from 18 months to 5 years old at Palomar College since 2004. I have my AA in Child Development and my Bachelor’s in Science of Human Services.\u00a0I really enjoy working with children and truly believe that preschool is very important for the development of the whole child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n smorales@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 3380<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello Families! I am Shelbi Morales. I have been working at Palomar College since 2008 and became a Master Teacher in 2019. I went through Palomar College’s Child Development Program, where I attained several AA’s and permits. I have my BA in Human Development from CSUSM. I have worked in many areas of our Lab School, including the 3-5 year old classrooms, but I found my heart in the toddler room. When I am not at work, I spend time with my two children out in nature, going camping, to the beach, or the desert. I cannot wait to start our journey together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n rthompson@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 2579<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have been working at the ECELS since 2011 and couldn\u2019t see myself anywhere else. I absolutely enjoy working with children and have been since I was 13 years old. I started as a volunteer, helping out in a small local child care center, then became a nanny shortly after, as I got into high school. I received an AA in Child Development and General Studies with an emphasis in Special Education. I graduated from CSUSM with a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development. A few years ago, I incorporated sign language into the classroom, and I loved it. I will be continuing to use it in my classroom going forward.\u00a0I love going to the beach, camping, and going on road trips to Texas (my favorite place in the world!) or anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vvilchis@palomar.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 760-744-1150 ext. 2579<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bio coming soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos used with permission from Great Expressions Photography<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alphabetized by last name.
