Welcome to TK/CC

Our TK/CC classroom is a joyful, inclusive space where every child is valued, supported, and celebrated. We nurture kindness, curiosity, and confidence through play-based learning and meaningful interactions. Children of all abilities learn together, building friendships, exploring their interests, and growing at their own pace in a safe and caring environment.

Name: Mrs. Diane Padilla
Position: TK/CC Special EducationTeacher

I am a Special Education teacher with six years of experience supporting young learners. I earned my Master’s degree in Special Education from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I am passionate about creating an inclusive classroom where all students feel valued, supported, and able to thrive. I believe every child brings unique strengths, and I strive to foster a learning environment built on respect, kindness, and belonging. Outside of the classroom, I am a proud mother of three and happily married, which inspires my deep commitment to nurturing and supporting every child as if they were my own.
