¡Bienvenidos!
     Hola! ​My name is Brandi Aaronson.  I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with you and your children.  I am originally from California, born and raised.   I graduated from San Diego State University in 1995, with a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and a minor in Native American Studies. This will be my 7th year here at Desert Willow.  I have been teaching children for 10 years.  Prior to teaching, I worked for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals for 10 years.  I decided to leave pharmaceuticals to follow my passion for teaching children.  In addition, I have a son who attends DWES.  He will be entering the 6th grade this year.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I love to garden, hike and coach after-school sports.
      My co-teacher is Nereida Castro.  She has been teaching preschool children for 5 years.  This will be her 4th year here at Desert Willow.  She is originally from Sonora, Mexico and fully fluent in Spanish and English.  Nereida is married with 3 young children.  In her free time, she enjoys going to the movies, watching and playing soccer and swimming.  We are so lucky to have her.
About Spanish Immersion
Curriculum Emphasis: Spanish Immersion and Emergent Curriculum.

This preschool class, housed at the Desert Willow School, allows children between 3-5 years of age to experience their day exclusively in Spanish. Language immersion is an educational approach, especially effective for young children, that results in second language acquisition. The Emergent Curriculum is an approach to teaching, learning and advocacy for children. ... Teachers record these observations to reflect on developmentally appropriate ways to help children expand their academic and social potentials. Long term projects connect core academic areas in and out of the classroom.
