About Miss Velicsanyi…
I earned my B.A. and California State Multiple Subject TeachingCredential from California State University Northridge. I recently returned to CSUN to obtain a Masters Degree in Elementary Education. Concurrently, I was aSchool Age Caregiver for 5 years at North Park Child Care. This position has allowed me gainexperience in developing classroom management skills, lesson planning, and establishing relationships with parents, children, and staff. When I am not at McGrath, some of my favorite things to do arespending time with my family and pets, going to the movies, planning trips, and scrap booking.
