Bobbi Urbano

Director

"I have completed my Bachelor's Degree in Child and Adolescent Development and Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I started training in ballet, tap and jazz dance at four years old and became an assistant teacher at fourteen. That experience started my love of teaching and I have been working with children ever since.  When I'm not spending time playing with my two girls (Zizi 4 & Twyla 2), I use my free time teaching and attending Barre3 in Willow Glen. I choose to work with children because there is no other comparison to the pride I feel when I witness their growth, knowing I contributed in some way."

Sophia Valdez

Program Coordinator

"I have been working with children for sixteen years, fourteen of which have been in a licensed child care facility. My hobbies include chasing my toddler, Barre3, and catching up on my shows. I choose to work with children because I believe they are pure magic. It is such a privilege to know that I am helping them learn and grow to be the best people they can be!"

Karen Chamberlain

Accountant/Bookkeeper

"I graduated from SJSU with a Masters in Recreation. Since then I have had the opportunity to explore the world when I have not been busy playing with numbers. My "free time" finds my border collie and our three chickens. I enjoy being outside for walks or going for a drive in the country. I also have had the opportunity to sing with a local choir twice a year. WGCEDEP is an important part of our community, enriching the children's lives and providing them a safe place. I am glad to be a part of it. Besides I love getting numbers to balance." 

Lauren Attletweed

Program Assistant

"I'm working towards a Bachelor's Degree in English with a creative writing emphasis. I'm in my last year at DeAnza College and will be transferring to a university in the Fall. I love to read especially historical fiction and fantasy. I have chosen to work with children because I can make a difference in their lives and I learn so much from them."
