🍎 Teacher Spotlight 🍎

For Teacher Henry Tello, weekends are all about family. 💛 From making breakfast and sharing conversations around the table to spending his time refereeing soccer games for his kids’ teams, these moments are where connection and care shine brightest.

That same love carries into his classroom. Becoming a parent shaped the teacher he is today, inspiring him to lead with patience, understanding, and heart.

We’re grateful for educators like Henry, whose dedication to family and community helps create classrooms rooted in empathy, growth, and support every day. ✨

🍎 Teacher Spotlight 🍎

One of the most meaningful parts of teaching is watching children grow. 💛

Teacher Lori Flores loves seeing her students build confidence, discover their strengths, and take ownership of their learning. The “aha” moments, when something clicks and a child realizes they can do it, are what make teaching so rewarding.

The best advice Teacher Lori has received reminds her that she has control over what she holds onto and what she lets go. By choosing not to carry negativity, she creates space for peace, joy, and connection in life and in the classroom. ✨

We’re grateful for educators like Teacher Lori, who nurture growth, empowerment, and resilience every single day!

🍎 Teacher Spotlight Series 🍎

If teacher Karina Garcia’s classroom had a mascot, it would definitely be Tigger, full of energy, creativity, and joy! 🐯💛

Teacher Karina’s students love being together, sharing ideas, and celebrating friendship every day.

That same creativity shines beyond the classroom. A lover of arts and crafts, Disney magic, Broadway shows, and travel, Karina brings curiosity and imagination into everything she does!

We’re grateful for teachers who create classrooms bursting with life, creativity, and connection, and who make learning an adventure worth jumping into. ✨

🍎 Teacher Spotlight Series 🍎

For Alba Carrillo, the most meaningful part of the day is hearing, “Teacher, I did it!” and seeing the pride and joy on a child’s face when they discover something new.

That same sense of perseverance and accomplishment is part of her own story, too. From completing her education here in the U.S. to earning her degree in child development, and watching her three children graduate and build careers of their own, Teacher Alba’s journey is one of resilience, dedication, and hope. ✨

We’re so grateful for educators who not only celebrate their students’ achievements, but also inspire them through their own powerful stories.

🍎 Teacher Spotlight Series 🍎

Teaching doesn’t just shape students, it transforms teachers, too. 💛

Teacher Nhi Quach reminds us that the moments that may seem small, like when a child learns to communicate, trust, or share, are actually the biggest. These everyday milestones leave a lasting impact on the educators who guide them.

In these early years, our teachers have the privilege of watching children grow into who they are, one meaningful step at a time. ✨

We’re so grateful for Teacher Nhi, who brings wonder, curiosity, and a deep love of learning into her classroom to nurture her students’ growth and connection.

🍎 Teacher Spotlight Series! 🍎

Learning looks a little louder (and more joyful!) on karaoke combo days! 🎤✨

Lead teacher Daniel Moreno creates space for students to build confidence, express themselves, and learn through connection while they sing their hearts out!

Outside the classroom, his creative spirit continues with an impressive collection of action figures, LEGO, vinyl records, and even lightsabers.

We love celebrating educators who bring their passions into the classroom and make every day unforgettable for their students.

Every day is Earth Day! 🌍 At Monterey Highlands’ school-age program, our kindergarteners released ladybugs into our garden to help it thrive! 🐞💚

Did you know that ladybugs eat many common garden pests and help grow healthier, support stronger plants? 🌱

Just like ladybugs (small but mighty!) our children are proof that even the littlest helpers can make a big impact. By caring for our garden, they’re learning how small actions can help create a healthier planet and stronger communities. ✨
