Joanna
I am a Head Teacher at SOMA Montessori Preschool. I am a Certified Montessori ECE Teacher and I earned my Primary Diploma from The Canadian Montessori Teachers Education Institute in 2008. I have over 15 years of experience working as a Lead Montessori guide in International Montessori Schools in Warsaw - Poland, Shanghai -China, and Hong Kong. I'm passionate about a holistic approach to education and child development. Working with children, I focus on meeting their individual needs, promote talents, interests, and uniqueness, help them to develop self-confidence, and grow eagerness to learn and explore.
Calvin
My name is Teacher Calvin and I’ve been teaching young children for roughly 10 years now- I have a Bachelors of Arts in Music Composition from UC Berkeley which I use daily in my lesson plans. My teaching journey started with volunteering and teaching Korean and ESL to elementary school students at my church when I was in high school. I then went on to pick up skills as I worked for various music nonprofits throughout the bay area. I’m currently the Mentor Teacher for Tinycare’s West Village as well as the Head Teacher for Eureka Valley Preschool. My curriculum is mainly focused around music/movement with an emphasis on social/emotional drawing inspiration from Montessori theology. In my free time I enjoy composing my own music and staying active and outdoors.
