Our Teacher

Hi! My name is Virginia. Teaching has always been my passion. I had to give up being in the classroom to raise my two lovely children, my son who is now 11 years old and my daughter who is 6 years old.

Earning my Associate degree in Early Childhood from Pierce College has helped me enrich my craft as an educator and has brought back my self confidence and enthusiasm in molding young minds.

I have 10 years experience working with children. I was lead teacher in a child care center in Tacoma. Before moving to Washington State, I had the opportunity to be a lead teacher in a head start program in New York. Prior to migrating to the United States I taught for 7 years in the elementary grades in my home country, the Philippines. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Master's Degree in Eductional Administration from the University of the Philippines.

As a young child I had always wanted to be a teacher like my grandmother. I love teaching young children. I believe that teaching
is my talent and it is a GIFT to for me to share.
