Hi there! My name is Roxanna Clementi Ruiz, but around the classroom everyone knows me as Miss Roxy!
I am so grateful to be part of the Mountain Room and this wonderful school community. With over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, I truly feel lucky to spend my days learning, laughing, and growing alongside young children.
I have a degree in Dance and Child Development and am Montessori certified through Montessori Hills Academy TCP in San Diego, California. Ever since I was in high school, I knew that working with children was what I wanted to do. Teaching isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love.
Over the past year, I have had the joy of building relationships with our families and watching so many children grow in confidence, independence, kindness, and curiosity. One of my favorite things about being a teacher is seeing those “I did it!” moments and helping children discover what makes them unique.
Outside of school, I teach children’s Latin dance classes, play soccer, and enjoy bringing music, movement, and creativity into the classroom whenever I can. I believe children learn best when they feel loved, supported, and excited to explore the world around them.
Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us. It is truly a privilege to be part of their journey, and I look forward to another wonderful year together in the Mountain Room!
