Darlene Gonzales

Assistant Teacher

Hello, I'm Darlene Gonzales, born and raised in Southern California. I come from a family of five, and I'm the youngest and only girl among my four siblings. I married my high school sweet heart and we have raised our own family of 3 children, who are now young adults. One of my greatest joys in life has been raising three wonderful children, instilling in them the values and love that I hold dear. My home is also a haven for dogs, with three furry companions of my own and a cherished grand-dog, making every day a tail-wagging adventure. Beyond my roles as a mother and a dog lover, I'm a passionate educator. I firmly believe in the power of shaping young minds, and will draw from my life experiences and formal education to help create a joyous environment, I look forward to working with the staff at St. Mary’s Montessori School and aim to inspire and mentor those I have the privilege to teach.
