Meet Ms. Anahi, Asst. Teacher
Hi! My names Anahi and I am an asst. teacher for the saguaro before and afterschool program. I have always loved being around kids. I previously worked at the middle school as a junior counsler and that made me want to continue working with children. Working in childcare is incredibly rewarding to help them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and loving environment. Plus, I enjoy getting creative with the activities and making sure each child feels valued.
Meet Ms. Tiaret, Asst. Teacher
Hello! My name is Tiaret Lewis and I am an assistant teacher for the before and after school program. I am so happy to be working with children and getting a look into childcare and education. My favorite part about working with children is getting to learn from them. They teach me a lot of characteristics I should use in my life like patience and gratitude for the little things in life. During the summer, I had the opportunity to work for Casa Grande Middle School as a junior counselor for their summer enrichment camp and loved it! Although I don’t have much experience yet, I’m thankful for Saguaro and the Casa Grande Alliance!
