  Ms. Annabelle, Assistant Director (Preschool Program)

  Hi, my name is Annabelle. I graduated from San Jose State in Spring 2019 with my Bachelor of Arts in Child Development of Adolescence. As for my experience working with kids I have worked at Summer Camps with Galileo, YMCA Childcare, and have tutored kids in elementary school.

  Ms. KathyMae, Educational Specialist

  Hi, my name is Kathy Mae Sana, and I am the Educational Specialist here at Kiddie Academy of Cupertino. I received my Bachelor's in Human Development  and Early childhood education in 2019 and just finished my Master's degree in Human Development in Organizational Leadership recently this year. I have taught young children from young infants to pre kindergarteners in various preschools for about 8 years and eventually had good opportunities to work in school administration. What I love about working with young children is watching them grow and evolve in their development over time. I love seeing curiosity in children's faces, and how they socialize and learn in their classrooms. I also love working with families to make their child's educational experience fun and engaging. I am involved with my church community and work with the youth groups there and I love hanging out with my family and friends when I get the chance. I am a big foodie person and I try a lot of different places and would gladly share them with others. I look forward to working with the children and families at Kiddie Academy!

  Hello, my name is Ms. Jessica. I am working in the Pre-K class. I have been working with kids for over 4 years. I have completed my Child Development degree at the College of Sequoia. The most I enjoy about working with kids is experiencing the personalities they’ve expressed as young people. In my spare time, I like to find things to do in the class the kids would enjoy or anything that expresses by dancing or doodling. My intention is always to be there when a child is in doubt.
