Marcela Ávila - Toddler's Teacher

​

Marcela Ávila is a toddler teacher who believes working with young children isn’t just a job, it’s a privilege. She loves how toddlers find magic in the simplest moments, and she finds deep joy in witnessing a child learn something new for the first time. Every milestone, no matter how small, feels big to her because she knows she’s part of each child’s growth.

​

Inspired by becoming a mother, Marcela is passionate about creating a warm, secure environment where children can thrive with love, patience, and safety. She has completed Child Development coursework at Santa Rosa Junior Collegeand additional training in infant and toddler care.

​

Marcela’s favorite moment of the day is morning arrival; those happy faces and big hugs set the tone for a beautiful day. Families describe her as loving, patient, responsible, and helpful, and one of her favorite things to do with children is sing and dance to “Caminando, Caminando.” Outside of school, she enjoys learning from others, cooking, and spending time playing with her family.
