Where to start?! I have worked at MCDC off and on since 1999!  I actually started as the Office Administrator. We joke that I have done about every Job there is at MCDC at one time or another!!  But it’s such a great place I just can’t stay away!!

Being introduced to the Montessori method after being hired at MCDC came at the perfect time. Elisabeth, my first child, began attending soon after I was hired at age 2 1/2! I became pregnant with Natalie that year and she also was able to attend when she was potty trained! Elisabeth attended for 4 years and Natalie for 3! We sacrificed, and commuted from Lakeside to Poway even in times when I was not working at MCDC to give them the best start and it was WELL WORTH IT!!  They are now young ladies and continue to impress their teachers with their love of learning! I am forever grateful for Marijane, Angela and all the staff here that invest so much in our kids!!

Now, a bit more about me!  I have an Associate of Arts Degree and have 12 units of Early Childhood Education. My original educational direction was architecture. However, after having my first child, my desire changed! The education and emotional development of children became my fascination and passion. I have recently taken the Montessori Toddler training and have a International Montessori Teaching Diploma for Infant and Toddlers. Outside of MCDC I teach a Kindergarten Sunday School class, and I also run a home business selling candles. I enjoy singing, art, photography, horseback riding and travel. My Husband, Robert and I have been blissfully married since 1995.

Working with Nuccia has been such a great experience.  We work so well together, and are great friends as well as co-workers. The toddlers are SOOO much fun. Each and every personality is so unique and they make us smile every day with cute things they say! I look forward to meeting you and your child!
