Virgie began her journey with preschoolers at a small private preschool working with two year olds. After moving away for a short time, an opportunity came when Buena Ventura KinderCare was being built. Virgie is the only original teacher that helped open this center in January of 2003. She began working with the Prekindergarten class and moved on to working with infants and toddlers for about two years. An opportunity became open for the Prekindergarten classroom again and Virgie worked with the group she had grown so fond of. When management needed a Kindergarten teacher, Virgie quickly stepped in and taught the Private Kindergarten class and worked with the School Age children during the summer. This was Virgie's favorite age to work with and when the opportunity to work in management as an Assistant Director came up, Virgie took the position. Virgie was in the position for a year and the position of Center Director opened up and Virgie stepped in and has found her home.
Shawn Smith has always been passionate about working with and helping children since she was a young teenager. She loves what she does each day and enjoys the rewards of hugs and smiles. Shawn began working at the Buena Ventura KinderCare in December of 2008 as an Assistant Director after working at a privately owned preschool for 11 years. She took a brief break from the role in management for almost two years and began working in a classroom with the Preschoolers. Shawn also worked in the after school program for a summer and she taught the Cooking Adventures class as well. When another opportunity to be in management came open, she decided that she wanted to be able to take on the role of Assistant Director. Shawn is actively involved in each classroom and helps out where need be. She is also one of the bus drivers for the after school program.

Cheryl has worked for KinderCare for over 25 years primarily with the infants and some time with the toddlers. Cheryl enjoys providing the children with various sensory experiences. One of her favorite activities to do with the infants is painting because she loves to see their faces as they explore with the colors and paint on their hands. She also loves watching the infants learn to be social with one another.<br />
