Nelida Barahona
Infants

Hello, my name is Nelida Barahona and I have been an infant teacher here at Carlsbad Country Day School since we opened in 2006. I am fully qualified in the state of California to be a lead teacher in an Infant and Toddler Room. Prior to working at Carlsbad Country Day School, I specialized with infants and toddlers for four years at another local preschool. I am currently CPR and First Aid Certified for infants, toddlers, and children. I live in San Marcos with my husband, Rafael, and daughters, Stephanie, Janette, and Melissa. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
