My name is Maria Hernandez. I am the Director at the Learning Spot Child Development Center. I am happily married with two children of my own, ages ten and two. I started working with children in 1993. I received an Associate of Arts in Human Development and Liberal Arts. I have a Master Teacher and Site Supervisor Permit from the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. I have experience working as a preschool teacher, head teacher in an accredited program and finally as a director. In the past 15 years I have worked with children, parents, practicum students, teachers and the community to aide children in their growth and education. I conducted a Parent Support Group and I volunteer with children every week at my local church. I believe that all children learn differently and have strength in certain areas and other areas that require additional attention to strengthen. As a director, I make sure that children are treated with respect. I work with the parents, teachers and the community to give the children under our care the tools they need to grow up to be successful individuals.

My name is Sara Marquez. I am the proud mother of two young girls. My oldest daughter is eleven and my little one is six years old. I have been working with children since 1994. I began my career as a child caregiver working with a family. I did that for several years until their kids were old enough to be on their own. While I worked with the family, I was able to bring my young daughter with me. After I stopped working for them, I started my own family home day-care and worked there for 5 years. Since I started my own business, I also began attending college. I enrolled in the child and human development program. I received my teacher's credentials from Rancho Santiago College in Santa Ana. I have been working at the Learning Spot CDC since 2005. My philosophy as a pre-school teacher is that consistency is very important in a child's life. I strongly believe that children should find their teacher to be a trust-worthy figure. It is important for me that the children know I am there for them and that they can count on me.
