Estefania Lopez

I am a dedicated Early Childhood Care and Education Technician with hands-on experience supporting children aged 0–6, focused on creating safe, engaging learning environments that promote cognitive, emotional, and social development.

I've served as a lead and assistant teacher in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classrooms, designing age-appropriate lesson plans, managing classroom dynamics, and delivering individualized attention to support each child's needs.

I collaborate closely with parents and colleagues to monitor progress and communicate developmental milestones, and I adhere to safety protocols while fostering positive behavior and learning routines.

I hold a technician credential in Early Childhood Care and Education and a bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages, and I continuously update my professional skills through Illinois Gateway to Opportunity trainings on infant safety and basic elements of early childhood care.
