Vanessa Mariano

Kindergarten Teacher

I am excited to be teaching the half day Kindergarten! I was a Kindergarten Instructor for 7 years and loved it. Now, I am using what I have learned during that experience as I take the lead in the student's learning process. I have a degree in Elementary Education Specializing in Early Childhood Education, that is why I enjoy being with the youngest children in the Summit family. I love witnessing their growth and observing how their personalities bloom.

My husband and I grew up in the Philippines. Our children were born in California, and we feel blessed to be able to raise our children in this country. All of them have attended Summit Academy Independence . We have one SA High School graduate and two children currently attending. So yes, we are a Summit Academy family!
