As Center Director, Sonya’s role is to create a safe, positive and enriched learning environment for the children in her care. She is devoted to the well being of everyone in her center – children, families and teachers. She develops and maintains strong relationships with the children and their families in her center. She encourages parent involvement and establishes a sense of trust and security so that parents are comfortable at work knowing that their child is in a nurturing environment.

Sonya has been with CCLC since 2000 and in the field for over 10 years. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development from Sacramento State University. She has worked with infants and school agers in a number of different roles. Sonya has an open door policy and is happy to chat with families and staff members as needed.

Program Information

The Downtown center believes in a play based philosphy using CCLC's Guided Discovery curriculm. Children are taught, shapes, colors, numbers, letters through play(i.e. games, songs, stories and interactive activities).
