Natalie began working at the ASI Children’s Center in Spring 2022 as a Student Assistant II in La Casita 2 and is excited to begin her role as an Associate Teacher in Casa 2. Her time in La Casita 2 has taught her many important skills such as creating meaningful relationships with students that center around their interests and natural curiosity for learning, fostering a positive classroom environment that prioritizes building community, and keeping a healthy and safe environment for children to learn and grow.

Teri is so happy to join Teacher Sam in Bambini 1 and help the children grow and learn through play and the daily activities of the classroom. She can see what a wonderful and high quality early learning center this is and appreciates that so much. Teri ran a Playcare classroom at Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services for families who were learning English as a second language, and was also a former Youth Services Librarian in the Sacramento Public Library System. She is committed to early childhood education and supporting each child where they are in their development.
