Welcome to our Kindergarten page! My name is Ms. Santamaria and I will be your child’s Kindergarten teacher for the 2023-2024  Kindergarten class at St. Odilia school. This is my 5th year teaching at St. Odilia  and I am excited to be part of  your child’s education this year. I have been in the teaching profession for 16 years already, earning my  B.A. in Child Development at CSULA .

I love working with young children and been able to see their excitement as they  learn something new!  I believe in children’s individuality, uniqueness and eagerness to learn and I make sure Kindergarten is a haven where all children feel accepted, valued , and loved. 

Some of my hobbies are listening to music, read and dance. I enjoy playing piano,  guitar , and of course, spending quality time with my family and friends.

Looking forward to working with your child!
