Our Teachers

Isiris Piedra, Program Director

Welcome to Dream Big Little One Piedra Family Daycare! My name is Isiris Piedra. I am a Parent and Educator serving children and families over the past 25 years. My experience as a Teacher has grown throughout the years as I have worked at Major Children’s Center all throughout Los Angeles including Burbank Unified School District, Warner Bros. Children’s Center, Universal Studios Children’s Center, Disney Studios, and CALTECH Children’s Center. I have also worked as a Child Development Specialist working with special needs children in home intervention.

In March 2020, I opened our family daycare (Piedra Family Daycare) with the vision to bring high quality early childhood education to children and families in our community. I am thrilled you are interested in our Program for your little one!

Genesis Gonzalez, Assistant Teacher

Hello! My name is Genesis Gonzalez and I’m 24 years old. I have gained valuable experience working with children ages 18 months to 5 years old. I really enjoy working with children and watching them explore different activities of their interest, gain curiosity and learn.

I am thrilled to be part of the amazing teaching team at our DREAM BIG LITTLE ONE PIEDRA FAMILY DAYCARE! I am looking forward to continuing serving the children in our care and working with the families.

Philosophy

We are a STEAM & NATURE BASED SPANISH BILINGUAL PROGRAM! At Dream Big Little One, our Program is designed for children to build their knowledge, inquiries, and understanding of how things work through hands-on activities, and explorations through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). We believe that children are active adventurers and explorers in their learning within their environment; that is the reason we have an emergent curriculum where they will learn about the world that surrounds them based on their own interests. Our approach is focused on a child-centered curriculum that is inspiring and nurturing where discoveries and creative play takes place. Our outdoor learning and inquiry takes place through explorations of the environment. Through the daily routines children will engage in different activities, develop their social-emotional interactions, problem-solve, and develop self-regulation and conflict-resolution skills.

We are inspired by STEAM curriculum to encourage the children to develop their critical thinking and logical reasoning by providing open-ended questions and conversations to expand their curiosity about how things work. We want children in our program to feel confident and be active participants in their own learning. The children and Teacher work together in the learning process. We strongly believe that the environment acts as the third teacher. Our Program is designed to meet the children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs. We model love and respect for one another and the environment, and create a space for learning at the children’s unique pace.

We value strong parent partnerships as it is an essential part in the child’s learning. We believe that working as a team creates and maintains a positive relationship that will benefit the child to his or her full potential. Parent partnership is an important part, connecting home and school. My primary goal as a Program Director and Head Teacher is to ensure families that their child is in a safe environment while at school.
