Cajina Family Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Zoyla Cajina, the founder of Cajina Family Wonderschool. I have always loved working with children. After being a kindergarten teacher in Mexico for 10 years where I received my BA in elementary education, I became a mother, and decided to start my own program. As a mom, I knew what it was like to be away from my children, and I wanted to create an environment where parents felt secure leaving their children. I now have 16 years of experience working with young children, including 33 Early Childhood Education units and a Child Development Associate Teacher Permit.

¡Hola! Soy Zoyla Cajina, la fundadora de Cajina Family Wonderschool. Siempre me ha gustado trabajar con niños, y después de ser maestra de jardín de infantes en México durante 10 años, donde obtuve mi licenciatura en educación primaria, me convertí en madre y decidí comenzar mi propio programa. Como mamá, sabía lo que era estar lejos de mis hijos y quería crear un entorno donde los padres se sintieran seguros al dejar a sus hijos. Ahora tengo 16 años de experiencia trabajando con niños pequeños, incluidas 33 unidades de educación infantil y un Permiso de Profesor Asociado de Desarrollo Infantil.

Philosophy

At Cajina Family Wonderschool, we believe in creating a safe, welcoming environment where children feel like they are part of a family. It is our hope that when children transition from our program, they will move into their school years with maturity and self-confidence, ready and excited to learn.

I love chatting with and listening to children, hearing about their dreams and making them always feel heard. Through diverse activities – especially art, music and dancing – children are always encouraged to express themselves.

En Cajina Family Wonderschool, ofrecemos un lugar agradable y seguro para los niños, donde se sientan como están familia. Esperamos que podemos guiarlos para que ellos puedan salir de aquí a escuela con madurez y más seguridad de si mismo, y van a poder lograr aprender con felicidad.

Me encanta platicar con niños, oyendo sobre sus sueños y hacerlos sentir escuchados. A través de actividades diversas - especialmente el arte, la música y bailando – siempre se anima a los niños a expresarse.

Location

Cajina Family Wonderschool is located in a spacious, beautiful home on a quiet street in the Oakwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

We have an entire building dedicated to our program, and we’ve designed our care environment with play and learning areas that allow children to explore various developmentally-appropriate activities based on their interests. Some of our favorite areas include our art area (for expressing emotions and ideas) and dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy).

Every day we play outside in our large private backyard, where kids can ride tricycles, climb play structures, play with sensory water and sand tables, and just run around!

At Cajina Family Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.

Cajina Family Wonderschool está ubicada en una casa grande y hermosa en una calle tranquila en el barrio de Oakwood, Los Ángeles.

Tenemos un edificio dedicado a nuestro programa, y hemos diseñado nuestro entorno de cuidado con áreas de juego y aprendizaje que permiten a los niños explorar diversas actividades apropiadas para el desarrollo basadas en sus intereses. Algunas de nuestras áreas favoritas incluyen nuestra área de arte (para expresar emociones e ideas) y área de juego dramático (para la autoexpresión y la empatía).

Todos los días jugamos afuera en nuestro gran patio privado, donde los niños pueden andar en triciclos, escalar estructuras de juego, jugar con agua sensorial y mesas de arena, ¡y simplemente correr!

En Cajina Family Wonderschool, quiero proporcionar un ambiente enriquecedor donde los niños se sientan libres de explorar y jugar.
