Xiomara

Teacher's Assistant- Preschool & Kindergarten

I have been working in the toddler room for one year at Oakridge. I love working with young children and helping to guide their curiosity and learning. I am originally from Columbia and am fluent in Spanish. Montessori is such a powerful approach to help even the youngest of children develop life skills, confidence, and a solid foundation for learning.
