Ms. Maria Jacalne, Executive Director

Hello I am Ms. Maria and I come from a  strong track record in managing and growing high quality childcare programs in the Bay Area. Most recently, I was the Director of Empire Montessori in Willow Glenn for 6  years, and prior to that had a 10  years of experience in teaching and administration at Appleseed Montessori School and 8 years of experience as a teacher at St. Nicholas School.   My deep passion and expertise is in curriculum management and community development, with this, I believe this will be a key asset to growing Kiddie Academy of Cupertino to the next level. Most importantly, my experience in deep relationships with families, local businesses, and community at large can be invaluable for our school.   I am excited to contribute to a thriving play-based curriculum environment where I will support all of you in harnessing the power of creativity and exploration to inspire meaningful learning experiences.

Ms. Annabelle, Assistant Director (Preschool Program)

Hi, my name is Annabelle. I graduated from San Jose State in Spring 2019 with my Bachelor of Arts in Child Development of Adolescence. As for my experience working with kids I have worked at Summer Camps with Galileo, YMCA Childcare, and have tutored kids in elementary school. In my free time, I do enjoy watching the latest shows, spending time with my friends and family, and playing with my Cricut to do some crafts. I also am a big fan of the San Francisco Giants. I enjoy working with children and being a good role model to them. I believe every child is creative in their own way if they put all their confidence into whatever they want to do.

Ms. KathyMae, Educational Specialist

Hi, my name is Kathy Mae Sana, and I am the Educational Specialist here at Kiddie Academy of Cupertino. I received my Bachelor's in Human Development  and Early childhood education in 2019 and just finished my Master's degree in Human Development in Organizational Leadership recently this year. I have taught young children from young infants to pre kindergarteners in various preschools for about 8 years and eventually had good opportunities to work in school administration. What I love about working with young children is watching them grow and evolve in their development over time. I love seeing curiosity in children's faces, and how they socialize and learn in their classrooms. I also love working with families to make their child's educational experience fun and engaging. I am involved with my church community and work with the youth groups there and I love hanging out with my family and friends when I get the chance. I am a big foodie person and I try a lot of different places and would gladly share them with others. I look forward to working with the children and families at Kiddie Academy!
