Rosie Higuera
Lead Toddler Teacher

Hi! I’m Rosie Higuera and I have the pleasure of working in the Infant/Toddler class here at Carlsbad Country Day.

As a wife and mother of three beautiful children, I know how extremely important it is to have caring, qualified teachers for your children. I have ten years of teaching experience with children from birth through preschool. I am fully qualified by the state of California to be a Lead Teacher in an Infant Toddler Program. In addition to my teaching experience, I’ve worked as a nurse, and camp counselor. I’m very close to completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Education and am currently fully CPR and First Aide Qualified. I look forward to watching your child grow and thrive here at CCDS!
