My name is Ivette. I am a born and raised Orange County native. I’ve been in the education field for 18 years, and during those years I’ve enjoyed the opportunity of working every role from teacher, all the way up to director. My passion in this role comes from the rewarding experience of helping to shape the minds of the children we care for and watching them grow. My experiences within the field have shown me to work with a mantra that kindness goes a long way, and you receive what you give.
