Her dream of providing the best possible preschool and childcare environment in this area was realized with the opening of Little Oak in 1996.

Carolyn Moore

Carolyn began her teaching career with Little Oak in 1996 and her days with the children inspired her to go back to school for Elementary Education. Carolyn has since worked in many of the local elementary schools and as an elementary school substitute. Carolyn came back to Little Oak when her children began as Red Birds in 2001. Carolyn loves greeting her preschool friends daily and is proud to be a part of such a wonderful school.

Beth enjoys gardening, crafts and her two granddaughters (Miss Kelly in the Green Frogs is Miss Beth’s daughter☺.) When Beth is in the classroom she really enjoys reading, playing and coloring with the children. Beth is excited to spend her days here with her little and big friends at Little Oak.

Catalena Morishita
We are excited to welcome Catalena to Little Oak. Catalena has two AA degrees in Liberal Arts and Psychology and is a graduating Senior at San Jose State University, majoring in Child Development. Catalena loves to dance, she has been tap-dancing since the age of 2. Catalena enjoys sitting and talking with children because they have the most interesting and creative stories to tell. Her favorite part about Little Oak is being able to see the children’s personalities develop through play and to be able to engage with children.
