Instructional Assistant - Lead Teacher - Toddler

My Name is Cindy Dunlap I’m the Lead teacher in the Toddler room in San Luis Obispo. I was hired in 2003. I have been working with Toddlers at Cuesta since the first day the Toddler room was open! My favorite part about working with children is getting to know each individual child and family and what their needs and interest are so I can create a learning environment that they can be successful in and grow in all areas of development. My favorite activities to do with children are usually messy. I love to let children explore with all their senses. Outside of the classroom I love to fish, watch my boys play soccer, and go on family vacations!

I am a co-teacher at the San Luis Children Center. I was hired in the summer of 2021. I love to help in the development of skills, especially emotional regulation. I love reading Mo Willems books. I especially like to try and read in Spanish as much as I can. Fun fact, I love learning languages, so I know phrases in multiple languages. I’m bilingual, Spanish and English are my strongest languages. I speak a little French and know enough American Sign Language.
