What I'm looking for
I am a passionate professional in the field of child development, currently serving as a Service Coordinator at Alta California Regional Center. My role involves case management for children and adults with developmental disabilities, where I develop and monitor Individual Program Plans (IPP) to ensure that clients receive the necessary support and services. I take pride in advocating for my clients and collaborating with community agencies to facilitate their needs.
Previously, I held the position of Director/Admin at Noah’s Ark Preschool, where I was responsible for overseeing educational programs and staff development. I successfully managed the facility, ensuring compliance with state regulations while fostering an environment of learning and growth for both staff and students. My experience as a Head Teacher and Infant/Toddler Teacher has equipped me with the skills to develop age-appropriate curricula and maintain open communication with parents, ensuring a holistic approach to child development.
