About Today’s Featured Team
Mrs. Jones: I grew up in Gaithersburg and am happily married to my high-school sweetheart. We have three children: 13-year-old twins and an 8-year old boy (who attended GSLP). I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master;s degree in sociology. I was a stay-at-home mom and home-daycare provider before I started teaching at GSLP. After completing the necessary coursework last year, I achieved a Level 5 ranking through the Maryland Child Care Credential Program.
Mrs. Cerezo: I am originally from Puebla, Mexico. In Mexico, I earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP). I got married in 2006. I moved to Maryland 12 years ago. I have two boys: a 9-year-old, who is starting 5th grade this fall, and a 4-year-old, in his third year at GSLP. Last year, I was blessed joined the GSLP team!
What These Teammates Love About Working at GSLP
Mrs. Jones: What I like most about working at GSLP is the opportunity to work with young children. At ages 2, 3, and 4, children are just beginning to explore and interact with the world around them. It's a delight to watch their little minds work, help them foster new friendships, and create fun art projects together. I also enjoy the comradery I feel with my fellow teachers. It's nice working for a small school because of how quickly I've gotten to know my fellow teachers and directors.
Mrs. Cerezo: I really like to see the children smile when they are doing their activities, playing, and making new friends.
Thank you, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Cerezo! We are glad to have you on the GSLP team!
