Anely Rangel-Ramirez

Anely has been working with children from infancy to preschool age since 2017. In 2019, she received her A.S. in Early Childhood Education from Reedley College. She then went on to graduate from Fresno State in 2024 with a B.S. in Child and Family Science. Anely has experience working at college campus childcare centers, where she has served as a mentor to students earning their practicum hours. While working at Fresno State’s Programs for Children, she gained experience with the Reggio Emilia approach. Anely is also familiar with the Montessori method from her previous program.

Her philosophy centers on creating a classroom environment that is child-led and driven by the children’s interests, evolving through exploration. She believes in collaborative work, where teachers, parents, and the community are all partners in the learning process. Anely is excited to join the team and be a part of the vibrant community we have here on campus.

In her free time, Anely enjoys attending local farmers markets, exploring antique and vintage shops, and going on hikes with her husband and their two dogs.

The best thing about working at the Children’s Center is: promoting a safe environment for growth and development—not just for the children, but also for their families and fellow teachers. She loves seeing the children explore, evolve, and gain knowledge through the experiences around them.
