Amelia Dado
Director
I have been working with children since 1970 first in the Philippines after earning my Bachelors Degree. In 1993, I moved to the United States and started teaching preschool in New York. In 1996, I moved to California and began working for TTT. I have taken courses in Early Childhood Education at Skyline college and received my certificate. I also hold a Site Supervisor permit from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
I am CPR and First Aid certified.
Katy Morris
Teacher
I started working with kids in 1996, my sister and I had our own babysitting business. I wanted to work with kids because I had a kindergarten teacher who inspired me to want to do what she did because she was so kind and loving and I knew that I wanted to be that person for someone else one day. I started with TTT in 2018. I love watching kids learn and grow and being there to see them reach their milestones.
When I am not working with kids I am going to Giants games, Sharks games, reading, baking, walking or spending time with family. I have 37 ECE units, my AS in Child Development and my Certificate in ECE.
I am CPR/First Aid certified.
Tess Tesorero

I have been working with children for more than 40 years. I started working at TTT in 2015, at first it was only part time but in 2017 I decided I wanted to work here full time.
I have a Bachelors degree in Education and a Masters in Education. In my spare time I enjoy reading and crocheting.
I am CPR and First Aid certified.
Jade Rodriguez
Teacher
I started working in the child care field in 2015, I sort of stumbled into the field and before long realized that working with children brought me so much joy and I knew teaching was my passion. I enjoy the natural curiosity children have and how every day is an adventure.
When I am not working I enjoy crafing, going on hikes, cooking and baking.
I currently have 12 ECE units and enrolled in more classes.
I am CPR and First Aid certified.
