PRESCHOOL

Meet Your Preschool Director

Ms. Celeste Viray

My name is Celeste Viray and I am the Preschool Director at St. Victor School. I grew up in the neighborhood and have attended the neighborhood schools in the area. I have a BS degree in Child & Family Development with a minor in Sociology from San Diego State University. I worked in inner city schools in NYC for 2 years before coming back to San Jose and working in a child care center before coming to SV school. Growing up in a big family, volunteering with the children's ministry at church, and having fun and dedicated teachers has inspired me to become a teacher. When I'm not in the classroom, I like to spend time with my family and friends and catch up on my K-dramas!

Preschool Highlights

My expectations for my Preschool students are to create a supportive and engaging environment that fosters growth and curiosity in a way that feels natural and fun for preschoolers.

  • Social & Emotional Development - Sharing, taking turns, and cooperating with peers. Learning to express feelings appropriately and understanding others' feelings.

  • Cognitive Development - Learning basic math skills, problem solving, and language skills.

  • Literacy & Numeracy Development and Creative Expression

 

We always look forward to our Lunar New Year Celebration where we learn about the culture and holiday traditions for those who celebrate. We invite families to join in on the festivities and end with a school-wide Lunar New Year parade, led by preschool students!
