Hi CCP families! I’m Alejandra, returning CCP Board President. It will be Alyna's third year at CCP, joining the Pre-K class this fall after 2 great years in preschool. Our family has loved our experiences at CCP. We have such dedicated teachers and an amazing board of parents. The co-op aspect of our school is great! We all have a voice and can contribute to continue the work of this community. When I'm not wrangling a toddler, I work at U of I as Assistant Director for Curriculum & Instruction- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the School of Molecular & Cellular Biology where much of my work centers around supporting students in STEM, particularly those who are underrepresented. I look forward ro another great year at CCP!

I am Whitney Gutierrez, I would like to continue to serve on the CCP Board because I have loved to watch my children grow and develop while in the preschool classroom. I have loved being on the board and collaborating with teachers and families to ensure CCP continues to be an excellent preschool program for our community.

My daughter, AJ, will be returning for her second year at CCP and I am looking forward to more involvement with our wonderful school in the upcoming year.

I am Felix's (in pre-school) mom. I am a speech therapist with my own business in town. I feel that this position would be a good fit for me as I enjoy writing and design. I have some experience with things like websites and social media. I am also organized and have good attention to detail.

My daughter, Holly, has really enjoyed her first year at CCP. We love that CCP has such caring teachers and an environment where families work together to contribute to the school’s success. Holly is excited to attend the PreK program next year, and I am looking forward to continued involvement in the CCP community.
