Tracy Bruns
Lead Toddler Teacher

My name is Tracy Bruns and I am very happy to be working here in the Toddler Center at Carlsbad Country Day School with your children. I moved to California a year ago from New Jersey. Prior to moving here, I worked for 5 years at a YMCA preschool in the Infant/Toddler room. When I first relocated to California, I spent a year as a teacher of a Pre-K classroom; working with the older children was a great experience, but I found my true passion with the toddlers. I have my CDA certification in Infant and Toddlers and I am fully qualified by the state of California to be a lead teacher in an infant and toddler program. I am fully qualified in both CPR and first aide. While working here at Carlsbad Country Day School I am continuing my education in the Early Childhood Field. I look forward to meeting your child and helping them grow!
