Toddler Program

The Toddler Program’s primary goal is to support the toddlers in developing their social-emotional skills. Social-emotional skills include but are not limited to working with the toddlers on social cues and rules, empathy, positive relationships between adults and peers, and self-regulation. We also focus on independence in our room in the forms of self-help to prepare the toddlers when they transition to preschool.

Yamelin Torres

Toddler Teacher

My name is Yamelin, I was born in Peru and came to the United States at the age of 13 years old. I studied Early Childhood Education at San Francisco City College. I have been working at The Lands End School since 2012. I am very passionate about working with children and implementing activities to provide children with the necessary learning experiences to grow educationally, socially, and emotionally. I adapt to each child’s learning style differently and respond appropriately and accordingly. I love to see children grow up and see their smiles every day that brightens my day.

I love to dance and listen to music, go for hikes, walks and travel. I enjoy spend time with family and friends. I especially love animals. I have a little Yorkie that I adore and play with every day .

Haley Mendelson

Toddler Teacher

Hello TLES families! My name is Haley, I’m 25 and have been working with kids for around 3 years now! I love art and science and hope I can use my skills to further help the kids grow!

Getting the opportunity to see all the students around me develop knowing that I have been a part of their journey means so much to me! I am so grateful to be at such an inclusive and caring school.

Thank you for letting me be part of TLES family and trusting me with your amazing kids!
