Stephanie has been a part of two well-known national organizations in the city of Los Angeles. The majority of which has been spent with Volunteers of America Early Head Start both in the classroom and as a Family Services Associate/Home visitor. By visiting families she was able to expand her knowledge in how children interact in their home setting. She’s also worked thoroughly with special needs children (speech delays, autism, and visually impaired). Being bilingual Spanish and English speaking, families are able to benefit especially in the Latin Communities where she also spent time being a part of Foundation for Early Childhood Education Inc.

To add, she has a long list of completed respected trainings, which include The Creative Curriculum, Early Start CPSD Statewide Institute, Supporting Families with Special Needs, Sign Language, A Head Start on Science, Music, & Discipline just to name a few.

Moreover, underneath it all, she has a terrific sense of humor and finds fun creative ways to gain the children’s attention. Saint Victor’s Preschool greatly values Stephanie’s creative input, personality and dedication to all children’s development. Outside the classroom you might find her at a Dodger games or catch her enjoying live music with friends.
