Bailey Choi
Lead Four Year Olds Teacher

Hi! My name is Bailey Choi and I am one of the lead teachers in the preschool program here at Carlsbad Country Day School. I was born and raised in Torrance, California but currently reside in Carlsbad. I moved to San Diego about 6 years ago to attend UC San Diego, where I received my B.A. in History and Education Studies. I then went on to obtain my Masters of Education and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with a Subject Matter Authorization in Social Science. I recently presented my research thesis on the affect of a social curriculum intervention on an elementary school class at the UC San Diego Master of Education Colloquium.

Though I have worked with students of various ages, I really enjoy children at the preschool level. Having experience teaching public school kindergarten has given me insight about what is expected at the early elementary level, which allows me to better prepare your child for school after preschool.

Some of my hobbies include scrapbooking, crafting, jewelry making, and baking. I also enjoy being active and doing yoga. I am excited to be a part of Carlsbad Country Day School and look forward to meeting your child and your family.
