My name is Mrs. Marian Garrido and I am the Kindergarten Teacher! I graduated from Pacific Oaks College and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with a major in Elementary Education. I am currently in my graduate program to complete my Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Organizational Leadership and Management. I have worked in Education for about 7 years, with experience as a K-5 Teacher’s Assistant, Special Education Paraprofessional, 1st Grade Teacher, and a 3rd Grade Teacher. Now, I am so blessed to continue my educator journey as a Kindergarten Teacher here at Saint Anthony of Padua.
Being a teacher allows me to inspire and guide children beyond the classroom into becoming positive, faith-filled individuals in our imperfect world. My goal as a teacher is not to mold students into being someone "perfect", but to guide them in enhancing their own God-given talents.
I look forward to an eventful and wonderful school year!
