Miss Sandra

My name is Sandra Carrasco, and I am the teacher for the Green and Turquoise Family this school year. I am originally from Zinapécuaro, Michoacán, Mexico, and I have called the Salinas Valley home for ten years. I began my journey in Early Childhood Education in 2018, studying at Hartnell College and working at the Hartnell Child Development Center. I currently hold a California Teacher Permit and a Site Supervisor Permit.

As an early childhood educator, I believe every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn, grow, and feel valued. I believe children are naturally curious, capable, and have so much to discover and develop. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children can explore, build independence, express themselves, and learn through meaningful play and hands-on experiences. I enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and celebrating their unique strengths, interests, and personality.

Outside of the classroom, I am a mother of three boys, and I love spending time with my family. We enjoy dancing, singing, cooking, creating art, watching Marvel and Disney movies, and traveling whenever we can. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with the children and families in my classroom and creating a positive, caring environment where every child feels welcomed, respected, and excited to learn.
