Hello!
My name is Jenny Flores Foss and I am a Child Development Instructor. I have 20+ years experience in the field of working with children and families. I have been an infant/toddler teacher, preschool teacher, preschool site supervisor, preschool director, community college instructor for three different colleges and currently a mother of two school-age children.
I absolutely love my Ventura Pirate community. My occupational purpose is fulfilled by building meaningful relationships with my students. I am here to educate, inspire, and support students. The skills we learn in child development have not only professional benefits but can also be helpful in navigating our personal relationships and understanding self. I hope to see you in one of my classes soon.
Jenny
Statement of Support:
At this moment in our nation’s history, it is especially important for our field and our department to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Building relationships and understanding the context in which children and teachers live is at the forefront of our program’s pedagogy. The child development and education department at Ventura College stands fast in the equitable, thoughtful, responsive education and care of children and in the preparation of future teachers.
