My name is Lisa Strumwasser, and I am a passionate preschool teacher with over 20 years of experience at Oak Park Neighborhood Preschool. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies from California State University, Northridge and pursued extensive graduate courses in education. Additionally, I hold a Site Supervisor Permit in Early Childhood Education. I have a strong foundation in the Reggio Emilia approach, having attended numerous workshops and participated in a group study held in Reggio Emilia, Italy. This experience has deeply enriched my teaching philosophy, emphasizing creativity, exploration, and child-centered learning. I am proud to have been part of the OPUSD community for over two decades, fostering a love of learning in our youngest students and creating a nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive.
