Mrs. Rivas' Early Child Development Program

As a student myself, I've earned my Associate of Science in Early Childhood Education and am currently a full-time student at Cal State Fullerton where I am studying to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Child and Adolescent Development.
To date, I've completed 55 units in Early Childhood Education and have earned my child development site supervisor permit through the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Mrs. Rivas' Early Child Development Program follows a constructivist approach to teaching and is inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia. The Reggio Emilia philosophy is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education that values children as strong, capable, and filled with wonder. We encouraged our students to use language to investigate and explore, as well as reflect on their experiences. We listen to the children with respect, believing that their questions and observations open doors of opportunity for learning and researching together. It's our belief that rather than children ask questions and an adult offer the answers, we should search for the answers together.

It doesn't end there!
My program includes homemade nutritional meals, potty training, open reading, and daily learning experiences. My staff and I are all First Aid and CPR certified with approved FBI clearances. I welcome newborns to age five years old and am HIGHLY experienced with multiples.
