Amber Gustaveson
Extracurricular Program Coordinator

Hi! My name is Amber Gustaveson and I am excited to be part of the enrichment program here at Carlsbad Country Day School. I enjoy the curiosity in young children and take pride in the fact that I am supporting their growth in their early years. I believe young children learn best in an environment where they can play and explore and feel successful.

I graduated from CSU, Chico with a BA in Child Development. Before coming to work for Carlsbad Country Day School I taught preschool and ran a licensed home daycare. I currently run both the gymnastics class and the sports ball class here at CCDS.

In my spare time I enjoy swimming, spending time with my husband and watching my 3 boys, Blake, Aiden , and Samuel play sports. I can’t wait to meet you and grow with your child.
