Holy Trinity Lutheran Preschool is licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services. We are affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri-Synod. We are a staff of professionals and qualified educators in the field of early childhood education. The entire staff is trained and certified in Infant/Child and Adult CPR.

The most effective ministry of a [Christian] teacher is accomplished on his or her knees before God. Apart from God we can do nothing (John 15:5). We are blessed and privileged to be working with Him to change lives; of ourselves, we will fail miserably without Him.

ms. Garcia - Director

 I am thrilled to be serving here at Holy Trinity as the Preschool Director. I grew up in Tucson Arizona and attended Christ College Irvine (now Concordia University) and graduated with my BA in Early Childhood Education and Administration including a Minor in Art. Since graduating I have served as a teacher in California in the cities of Santa Monica, La Mesa, Irvine and Del Mar and also in Tucson, Arizona. I have served as a summer school director in Irvine and been a Preschool Director in Okinawa, Japan and Costa Mesa, California. I believe that the early years of a child’s life are the most impressionable. By providing a safe and loving environment and teaching developmentally appropriate practices the children will be allowed to learn and grow in Christ’s love. Holy Trinity has been so blessed with such an AMAZING group of women who truly have hearts to serve Christ. I am so proud to be a part of the ministry here at Holy Trinity.

mS. REGINA - yellow room teacher

 I have been in the Child Development field for over 12 years. I went to school in Los Angeles City College and Mt. San Antonio College. I love watching children develop.  Their emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual growth is important and having the privilege to teach them about Jesus is what I love. Holy Trinity has helped me to pursue my passion in teaching. This is a very special school, I know Jesus is here and He likes this school very much. I love the families that we serve and the great teachers we have. One of my goals is learning more about God, to plant the seed of faith in the children’s hearts to keep throughout their lives. Something that I love to do is being behind the camera capturing special moments and expressions they have. I enjoy reading, going to the movies, Zumba and Bible class. I have 4 amazing children, my husband and two birds and four dogs.

mrs. duenas - green room teacher

 I have been blessed for 34 years with a wonderful man of God who has led our family of 2 beautiful daughters and 5 precious grandchildren. Through God he has supported me spiritually in a career in which I am very passionate about. Teaching children planting and watering seeds of faith in God’s littlest creations. I grew up in Whittier, Ca in a wonderful family. I graduated from High School knowing one day I would teach as well. Starting my own family early and spending much time in raising my daughters was a gift. Shortly after my second daughter my passion for teaching children only grew. Volunteering in my daughter’s school was where it took off. I decided to continue to go back to school to pursue a career that I had no idea the rewards God would have for me. I attended Mt. San Antonio College and completed my Education in Child Development. Although each year I continue my education by teaching the children I am also learning from them. I have been teaching at Holy Trinity for 17 years. I have taught in the classrooms from 18 months- 6 years old and currently the Green Room teacher. In all my years of teaching I have learned about being a child of God myself and my goal is bringing a smile to a child’s face and the Joy of Jesus to their hearts.

ms. TERESA - RED room TEACHER 

 I grew up in Mexico, East LA and Hacienda Heights. I love to enjoy nature. I enjoy hiking, running, dancing and watching movies. I have two boys- ages 13 and 9. I was a full time mother for my boys. Doing volunteer work at my son’s preschool sparked in me the love for teaching and interacting with kids. I focused on my education, took 12 units and then started working at a home daycare. Holy Trinity is special because it gave me the opportunity to expand my ideas and imagination. Also, we are able to teach the little ones about God. What I love about teaching the most is being able to participate in their speech/language development, social /emotional development, physical development and cognitive development. Working with children makes every day different and their unselfish love and smiles help keep my inner child alive. 

ms. KIM - YELLOW ROOM teacher 

My goal as a teacher is to help children develop a positive self-concept and encourage a lifelong love for education. I would also like to  encourage them to respect cultural diversity among each other. I enjoy working with children and helping them engage in their learning. I am very passionate about working with children. I like helping them explore their world and motivating them to enjoy education. I believe that it is important to place a child in an environment that is reliable and safe. One of my purposes here at Holy Trinity Lutheran Preschool is to make each child feel comfortable in class. I love to use my abilities to encourage a positive environment. I believe it is important to encourage every child and make them feel valuable here at Holy Trinity Lutheran Preschool. I am a facilitator and offer inspiring activities so that children  learn about God, their strengths and work on their continued development. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to work here at Holy Trinity. It is such a wonderful Preschool.
