Welcome to Room 129!!

My name is Melissa Corraliza and I have been a preschool teacher since 2010, working in general education classrooms that embrace inclusive practices. I believe that every child brings their own strengths, interests, and learning styles — and that play is one of the most powerful ways to support their development. In our classroom, all children are encouraged to explore, imagine, and grow through hands-on, play-based learning. I strive to create a welcoming, nurturing environment where every child feels seen, supported, and excited to learn. My approach is rooted in respect, curiosity, and the belief that all children can thrive when given the opportunity to play, connect, and belong.  Building strong, respectful connections with families is also at the heart of my teaching. I see families as essential partners in a child’s growth, and I am committed to open communication, collaboration, and creating a supportive learning community where everyone feels included.

I look forward to an amazing year together!
