Hi! I'm Julieta and I am the Assistant Teacher in the Owls classroom. I have an Associate degree in the Science of Nursing and have worked at SDDS since 2021. We have lots of fun in our young two's class and love doing art, music, singing and playing outside! You may catch us taking a stroll in our big red buggy, or running around the gym learning about fitness and our growing bodies with Coach Bob! We are always up to something fun here, but most of all we make sure all the children learn to feel safe in their classroom so they are ready to go off and explore!
