My name is Melanie and I have been employed by the County Office of Education for over 12 years. I started as a teacher in the Extended Day program. I took the position as site supervisor in the preschool over 8 years ago and I enjoy it immensely. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with a major in Family Consumer Sciences. I also worked in physical therapy as a PT technician for many years. The greatest achievement in my life would have to be having my three children, whom I love dearly. I am also a proud Grandma! My goal as a teacher is to teach not only the foundations of learning, but also kindness, respect, and confidence in oneself.

I am the Aide at Building Bridges and Michelson Extended Day and have worked in childcare since 2023. I grew up in Stockton but in 2022 my family and I decided to move to Calaveras County. I am working to obtain my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I have always had a passion to teach and work with children. My goal in childcare is to create a space where every child feels safe.
