Hello! I’m Ms. Aranda, and I’m thrilled to be teaching Pre-K 3 for my sixth year! Working with early childhood students is a true passion of mine because I love nurturing their development along with shaping their young minds. The most rewarding part of being a preschool teacher is watching my students academically and emotionally thrive. I particularly enjoy seeing their faces light up when they achieve something on their own. My goal is to support your child’s growth in social-emotional skills so they can carry these abilities into future grade levels. I’m eager to make this school year an exciting, safe, and fun experience for all my students!

Hello! My name is Brittany Chavez and I am ecstatic about joining the J.P. Lenoir community this year! i recently moved from the north Dallas area and am happy to be back home in the Rio Grande Valley. I received my bachelor's degree in biology pre-medicine with a minor in chemistry from UTRGV. I discovered a pre-k classroom as a substitute teacher and fell in love with pre-k! I was motivated to have a pre-k classroom of my very own and made a complete 180 in my career path. I have found my calling as this will be my third year teaching pre-k! I am passionate about relationship-building with my little learners, gearing them toward success, and making them feel empowered on their educational journey.

Hello. My name is Miss Quintanilla, and this will be my 6th year teaching at JP LeNoir and it will be my 4th year teaching Pre-K4. I am enjoying the journey along with my students. I absolutely LOVE teaching Pre-K4. It is an honor to be a part of the beginning of your child’s academic journey. My favorite thing about teaching Pre-K4 is watching each student grow and develop throughout the school year. I am a strong believer that anyone can accomplish the goals they set with a lot of hard work and determination. I look forward to working with you and your child throughout this incredible journey that is Pre-K4! We are going to have a wonderful school year!
