Marina Lopez

Assistant Teacher

Hello! My name is Marina Lopez, and I am the newest addition to the St. Mary’s Montessori School staff. I will be assisting the teachers in the infants and toddler classroom. I look forward to helping your children grow in love, nurture and creativity. I’m committed to creating a safe environment for them emotionally, physically and intellectually. I’ve always had a passion for kids early on in life. I had my first babysitting job at thirteen years old then later became a nanny in my early twenties. In 2016 I decided to take my passion to the next level and attend Mt. Sac community college and enter their Child Development program. It was there that I fell in love with learning about the development of children and in essence learned a lot about myself. During my time at Mt. Sac, I volunteered at Foothill Christian as a Sunday school preschool teacher to get a little more acclimated with preschool aged kids. I am now a mommy to a beautiful 4 ½ year old. On my free time I enjoy running, traveling, spending time with family, snowboarding and pretty much anything that allows me to be outside. I am a believer that God puts us exactly where he wants us, and I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me here at St. Mary’s Montessori school.
