Transitional Kindergarten

- Ms. Li
  
  My name is Ms. Li and I have worked in education for almost a decade. I worked with several age groups, including special needs. I am passionate about my Chinese culture and enjoy sharing it with my students and our community. I love being a teacher at St. Patrick School, especially because my son currently attends St. Patrick School. Being a TK teacher brings me so much joy and I look forward to working with you and your children this year!
- Ms. Tamayo
  
  My name is Tamayo and I earned my BA in Liberal Studies from San Francisco State University and my teaching credential from Chapman University. I have been teaching for over twenty years, and came to Saint Patrick's School in 2014. I have worked in Special Education for several years, but I am excited to return to homeroom teaching. I am married and have three children, whom all currently attend Saint Patrick's School. I look forward to working with your family as we prepare for kindergarten!
