Hello! My name is Ria Aguinaldo. I come to Kids Konnect with five years of experience in the early childhood education field. I have worked in preschool settings alongside both typically developing students and students with disabilities. I am an advocate for inclusive learning and am always looking for ways to create a diverse, equitable and nurturing learning environment for children and their families to thrive.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my son. We love finding new places to eat and going on spontaneous adventures around the bay!
Teacher MaeTeacher MaeBachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development Hi! My name is Ms. Mae.
As an adolescent, I was asked the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I answered with, "I want to be a nurse like my mom." At the end of my senior year, I decided that nursing wasn't for me and I became undecided. I went to school at a community college taking random classes for an undecided major. My sister suggested I go to a Pharmacy Tech program and I did. After proudly completing the program, I was still feeling unfulfilled. While looking through the classified section of a newspaper, I came across a Nanny position but unfortunately I wasn't qualified for the job because I had no degree in childcare.
Soon after, I went back to the same community college I started in and majored in Early Childhood Education. The random classes I took counted towards my major. A few semesters later I graduated with an AA Degree in Early Childhood Education. With the newfound degree I transferred to San Francisco State University to pursue my Bachelor's Degree in Child and Adolescent Development with the concentration on the Young Child. Why did I choose the young child? I enjoy the idea of being a part of an age group where they are young enough to be shown valuable lessons and needs the embrace of a caring caregiver and yet old enough to be independent and choice driven but still need the support, validation and the acknowledgement of said caregiver. And who can resist comforting their tears and who can turn away from hugs whose arms reach just right. I know I can't. Every day is filled with warmth and love and lots of hugs. That's why I enjoy working with toddlers.
Teacher AvinnaTeacher AvinnaBA in Consumer & Family Sciences Hello, my name is Avinna Amores and I am one of the preschool teachers here at Kids Konnect. Throughout my life, I have taken part in babysitting, playing, teaching, and caring for my 2 younger brothers and 8 younger cousins. I cherished being part of their childhood as well as contributing to their growth and development. When college came along, the ECE classes I decided to take at SFSU lured my passion towards early childhood education. After 4 years in SFSU, I received my BA in Consumer & Family Sciences, with an emphasis on Child & Family.
One thing I've realized is that teaching young children is an ongoing learning experience. I'm learning just as much as they are! Teaching offers me the opportunity to create a meaningful foundation for their lifelong learning. Playing a role in their early education and childhood experiences; and witnessing them go through their developmental stages, is truly gratifying. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your child's journey. I look forward to playing and learning with them!
Teacher GereleneTeacher Rubi I was born and raised in San Bruno. I've worked in childcare for about 3 years as a Teacher and Camp Instructor. Growing up I took care of my younger siblings and cousins. I am currently working on getting my ECE degree this upcoming fall. This will be my first time teaching preschool and I'm very excited! I absolutely love working with children and hope for my own in the future.
Teacher AssistantHello my name is Kalsy, kids have always had a special place in my heart. I've volunteered at an after-school program for a couple of months when I was in high school. I am currently a student at Cañada college studying radiology. My days consist of studying, painting and baking.
Teacher PaulineTeacher Pauline AA degree in Early Childhood Education Hello! My name is Ms. Pauline and I am one of the toddler teachers. I always had an interest in becoming a teacher from an early age, the vivid memory of my kindergarten teacher rhyming our names to dismiss us still remains with me. I started working at Kids Konnect in 2014, while finishing my degree in Early Childhood Education from Skyline College. Watching the growth of our students as they become independent individuals through play and imagination is an amazing experience. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and preparing for my next half marathon race. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of the growth of your children.
Teacher EhrinTeacher Ehrin I'm Ehrin Cunanan and I have five years of experience working in daycare and preschools. I always believe that children are our future, so we have to teach and guide them well. That's why when I'm at work I treat my students like they are my own kids. I lookforward to continuing to teach my students and I'm also planning on furthering my education as educator.
My favorite things to do are: spending quality time with my family (I have a 21-year-old and a six-year-old), going to church and learning good new things in life .
Teacher JazmineTeacher Jazmine My name is Jazmine, and I'm from the lovely neighborhood of South San Francisco. I am thrilled to be a Teacher at Kids Konnect Preschool!
I absolutely adore working with children and have a natural connection with them. My energetic and bubbly personality makes every day filled with fun and excitement!
I have a strong passion for working with young children, which led me to earn my associates degree in Early Childhood Education. Being able to witness the growth and development of children on a daily basis is truly rewarding. As a teacher, my goal is to nurture and guide your child, helping them become confident and unique individuals.
When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me tending to my wonderful plants, exploring new and delicious foods, or going on hikes and walks around the Bay Area. There's so much to see and do!
I am excited to continue learning and growing with Kids Konnect. Together, we will create a nurturing and engaging environment where your child will thrive.
I can't wait to meet you and your little one!
