Courtney Wilson
Lead Four Year Olds Teacher
Teacher of the Year 2010

Hello! My name is Ms. Courtney, and I am one of the Lead Teachers in the preschool program here at Carlsbad Country Day School. I am originally from Redondo Beach, but I now reside in Vista with my husband, Brian. I have been working with children in a professional setting for 7 years, and I am excited to call CCDS my home! Before starting at CCDS, I attended California State University, Long Beach, where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Language and Literacy Development. Through CSULB, I also completed my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with a Subject Matter Authorization in teaching young children English. My passion and love for learning is evident in my teaching and in my own life. I am currently furthering my education in the child development field, because building the strongest foundation both socially, emotionally and cognitively for children is the most important step in development and education. Professionally, I was awarded Teacher of the Year in 2010 at Carlsbad Country Day School and write an article called Courtney's Corner in the monthly newsletter that is published by the school. I look forward to meeting you, and working with you and your children for many years to come!
