Nelly

Teacher Nelly teaches the two-year-olds in the Owls classroom. With her international perspective from Lima, Peru, she loves to teach children about the world around us, and about people in different countries.

Her commitment to quality early education shines through in all the little things she does. She co-created the philosophy for our "Spanish Immersion Circle Time" program in 2013, and she also co-developed our pilot "Early PreK" Woodpeckers program in 2014. She has also mentored and supervised aspiring students from a nearby college for their classroom experience. Teacher Nelly is an active volunteer at Nine Lives Foundation since 2022.

Nelly holds a BA in Education, and a Site Supervisor Credential from the State of California. She has been with us since 2004.
