Christeen Van Hooser
Lead Toddler Teacher

My name is Christeen Van Hooser. I have been working in the educational field for the last eight years. I am fully qualified by the state of California to be a lead teacher in a Toddler Program. I am currently finishing my BA in liberal studies and after I graduate, I intend on pursuing my teaching credential for Special Education. I am fully qualified in both CPR and first aide.

On a more personal note, my husband and I both grew up in North County and we have two amazing girls who both attend CCDS. I feel so fortunate to be doing what I love while my little ones are being taken care of with the most caring teachers I have ever met!! I love working at CCDS and being a part of such a wonderful community.
