Teachers


She was determined to complete her Bachelor’s degree in Child Development from Cal State Los Angeles and her associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Santa Monica College.
Juanita sought to discover a philosophy that was student-centered where teachers would meet children where they are. This is why she joined Synapse Atelier, a Reggio Emilia inspired pre-school community, which provides a relationship-driven teaching environment for all children.

Her passion to work with young children started when she was just in her teens and started volunteering with children at her church. A year ago, Jazmin started her journey as a preschool teacher. She is passionate about creating environments that inspire young children to connect with nature and to each other.
Because children are the future, Jazmin believes the greatest investment that the world can make is in their Early Childhood Education, empowering children to think as problem-solvers, engage in community discussions, and advocate for positive change.
