I'm a Little Robot

(to the tune of I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little robot, short and strong.

Sometimes fast and sometimes slow

Our Teachers

Kristin

I created Nature and Nurture because having my own early childhood education program is my dream, my life's work. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a child. I somehow always knew that education would be my career path.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Child Development from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in Child and Adolescent Development from UC Santa Barbara. I hold a Child Development Permit from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing at the Program Director Level, the highest offered. I have many years of experience working in the field of early childhood education, in a variety of capacities. I have written one children's book and hope to write more. And, I'm a mom. I am committed to providing children and families with the best early learning experience possible.

Michelle

I have enjoyed watching children learn, discover, and explore as they grow, and I knew from a young age that I wanted to have a career in education. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a minor in Educational Studies focusing on Early Childhood Education from the University of California, Irvine. I believe that each child is an individual and I am very dedicated to making sure each one of them is given abundant learning opportunities to help them in their experience. Although I don’t have children of my own yet, child development is an on-going process that I love being a part of.
