Principal's Message

I am honored to serve the students, families and community of Telfair EEC and share the wonder of the preschool experience with you. I have worked with the LAUSD for over 25 years and have held numerous positions. I began as a teacher assistant and taught ET/K through 3rd grade for over 10 years. I then continued expanding my horizons by becoming a Categorical Program Coordinator / TSP Adviser, Literacy Coach and an Assistant Principal. It has been a wonderful educational career thus far. I also understand the stress and delicate balance of parenthood/family and work life- whether it's working outside the home or stay at home / work from home situations.    

The staff at Telfair is here to support you in navigating the very important FIRST 5 years of your child's life. Our primary goal at Telfair EEC is to offer your child/ren a safe and healthy, inclusive and nurturing school environment. We place a strong emphasis on the social and emotional well-being of your child and strive to help them grow cognitively through meaningful play-based learning opportunities throughout the instructional day. 

At TEEC, our concern is for the whole child. Our faculty and staff facilitate learning through specific, child-centered activities that are developmentally appropriate for the growing needs of your child. We foster and build on each child's positive self-worth, and fully believe in their ability to be engaged and independent individuals.

Respectfully, 

Mrs. Monica Alvarez
