Ms. Naomi
Assistant Director

My name is Naomi Fox and I have been working for Carlsbad Country Day school since February of 2007. When I was initially hired, I was a lead teacher in the three year program. I started working in administration in 2009, and I am now the Assistant Director of the School. Working in administration has given me the opportunity to interact with all the teachers, children and families here at the school. The school dynamic here is unique; a place where the staff loves coming to work, and the children can’t wait to learn.

Before coming to work here at Carlsbad Country Day, I was a Lead Preschool Teacher at another location for 8 years. I have also worked as a nanny and I am fully CPR and first aid certified for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

I live in Escondido with my husband and two girls, Summer, and Autumn Honey. We spend our free time reading books, playing at the park, going on hikes in the desert, and building sandcastles at the beach. We love being outdoors! I look forward to meeting you and your family, and hope you have a wonderful experience here at Carlsbad Country Day School.
