Tree Climbers 

Jackie Parra- Director 

Hello and welcome! I’m Jackie Parra, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for early childhood education with you. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for over 1,000 children, starting with 2-year-old triplets when I was just 12. My diverse experience spans church nurseries, gyms, and teaching toddlers taekwondo, but my heart has always been in long-term, in-home nannying.

​

As a Christian mother to a young daughter, I’ve embraced the journey of homeschooling to cater to her unique needs and foster a relaxed, parent-child bond. Inspired by Montessori methods, I’m committed to creating a nurturing environment that balances structured learning with creative, theme-based activities. My goal is to offer a personalized approach that respects each child’s individuality while integrating the joys of exploration and discovery.

​

In addition to my love for teaching, I cherish time spent at the ocean and enjoy the perfect climate of San Diego, and the 'Happiest Place on Earth' AKA Disneyland. My professional background in acupuncture and personal training, combined with a deep passion for health and wellness, drives me to teach children the importance of taking care of their bodies and embracing a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, movement, and mindset.

​

I look forward to sharing this journey with your little ones and making every day an opportunity for growth and joy. God Bless.
