I am Ms. Blanca Olea, I have been working for Tulip kids academy since 2017. I love to meet all the new children and families. I love working with the children and watching them demonstrate the skills we have taught them. I started working with children since 1994 and have worked with them off and on through the years. I enjoy doing art and crafts with the children. I am currently working with the infant class. I have been in this field for over 27 years. I was born and raised in Cuba, before moving to Santa Clara, California. In my spare time, I like to spend it shopping with friends and watching movies. I also, spend time with my nieces and nephews, they have now moved to North Carolina, but we still stay in touch. I also have family in Miami nice place for vacation.

Hello, my name is Angela Espinosa. I have resided for one year in the Bay Area but most of my life was in Riverside Southern California. Currently, I am a teacher’s assistant for the Infant Class here at Tulip Kids Academy. After high school, I completed one year of college majoring in Social Work in Southern California. I have always wanted to work with kids so when I got the opportunity to work here when I only had 4 months of living here, I was beyond excited and grateful. In the short span, I’ve found that teaching kids at such a young age have many great benefits for the children. During my spare time, I babysit for friends and family. I also enjoy going out to explore other cities like San Francisco and Oakland with my partner in my free time. For the holidays I also take road trips to visit family in Riverside. I will soon take my education further because I will always have more space to learn.

My name is Janet Perez, I am 25 years old. Currently taking classes in Early Childhood Education at Deanza Community College. I joined the Tulip family in October 2020. I love it here and I could not have felt more at home anywhere else. I hope to continue bettering my educational skills and techniques while inspiring the children, as they inspire me every day. I am incredibly happy to have found a place where they allow me to work closely with families in a true community setting. Outside of work I love spending time with my Son, we bond by building Lego sets and watching Marvel movies. I also enjoy traveling, taking road trips, and spending time with family & friends. I look forward to meeting You & your little one. I strive to make a difference by teaching tomorrow’s decision makers.

Hi! My name is Georgina Valverde, but I like to go by Gina. I am 24 years old and bilingual. I am a first-generation college student and I am currently working on my Elementary Education Degree. I have been working with kids for the last five years. I always knew I wanted to work with kids around this age group, having a big family and taking care of my loved ones influenced that decision a lot. Working with kids is so fulfilling and I enjoy seeing them accomplish new things every day. I enjoy being able to form a relationship with each student because I feel that it is important to their learning. Some things that I look forward to is helping them build the confidence they need to grow and find themselves in this world.

Hello everyone, myself Divya Trivedi, I am 34 years old. I have done my master’s degree in ichthyology (based on fishes) from India and now I am working on child growth and development courses through community colleges in the Bay Area. I jumped into the field of childcare about 1 year ago. I waited for my daughter to grow up sufficiently before taking on the teaching profession because I wanted to give full attention to her in her initial years. I do believe the first few years of childhood are important to any kid to shape their personality. I chose this path as my profession to help parents and their children; and to give my full support, love, and attention to them to make a good future. I really like being around the kids and now I have really become habitual of their tantrums, naughtiness, expressions, needs, giggles, and goofiness.

My name is Gowthami Kirubanandh and I am proud to call Tulip Kids my second home. My love and affection for kids started from a young age and I always had an interest in kids and their education. After moving to California, USA in the early summer of 2015, I got a chance to work at ADZ Academy in Sunnyvale, California and then gradually completed all my required childcare education and started working in Pre-School.

I started my career as an Infant Lead Teacher and after completing all the childcare courses at California College of Early Childhood Education in San Mateo, I got promoted to Sub-Director in Tulip Kids and I am working as the Infant Lead and Sub-Director in Tulip (Lawrence Station) until Feb 2021.  Now I am currently moved to Tulip (Willow) in Mid-March 2021 and working as the Assistant Director and Infant Teacher.

I have completed my graduate education in India in the field of Computer Science and Engineering at Anna University.

My favorite time at Preschool is when I’m working with Infants and Toddlers in circle time, to make circle time very enjoyable and more interactive. I am very happy and satisfied working with kids and helping them in their future life. After getting promoted to Sub-Director, I am looking forward to more responsibilities such as successful leadership, operational planning, management of the organization and overseeing day-to-day activities at Tulip Kids.

My favorite past time includes cooking, gardening, and riding along the countryside. My favorite color is red, blue, and purple and I love warm weather and beaches. I would like to visit Switzerland and Brazil someday.

My name is Kuldeep Kaur Birang. At present, I’m in the Preschool classroom of Tulip as a Teacher. I was encouraged by my director and tulip owner to enroll in a Child Development course. Time flies, and I have enough units to be proud of as credentialed ECE.  From May of this year ‘till October, I was an assistant teacher of Two’s. I learned a lot from my experienced during my stayed at Jr. Preschool class. How to be a successful one, having a goal that leads me to be a mentor in 3’s class now. Tulip made me strong and independent from what I am now.

I was born in India and graduated from the Rohilkhand University of Bareilly, India. I completed my Master’s Degree in Political Science from the same University. I completed my Master’s Degree in Political Science from the same University.

I’m Ms. Raquel I’ve been with Tulip Kids since the beginning of 2021. I am 24 years old. I love my preschool kids. I learn so much from them every day. I strive to teach them how to use good manners & habits. I enjoy grasping each student’s interest to help them center their focus on lessons. I admire watching their little eyes engaged in all the activities we have in class. I believe it does take a village to raise a child. I’m proud to be a part of your child’s early education.

My name is Hilda Mendoza I speak two languages Spanish and English. I was born and raised in the U.S.  I have been working with kids for 6 five years. Working in this field has been so rewarding, I learn something new every day. I’m very passionate about helping others, especially kids. By helping them, they develop and grow as individuals.

Going to school for child development has been a fun journey. I attended Mission college for 2 years for my child development units. These credentials are needed in this field and luckily finished the required units. Then, I decided to do something else too to help others.  I went on to get my Medical Assistant degree. I worked in a pediatric office and I’m around kids which made me very happy too. Since I’m so passionate about children I go back to the teaching career where I belong now as full-time Preschool Lead teacher where I can see smiles on kids’ faces every day in Tulip Kids Academy.
