Shavon Roach

Hello, my name is Shavon Roach, and I am the Instructor for Foundations in Early Education. I am committed to working with each student individually to help them achieve their educational goals and set them on a path to a successful career in child development. I believe that children need respectful, responsive, relationship-based care and education, and I am here to prepare adult learners for a career that not only makes a difference in children’s lives but also lays the foundation for all future learning.

With 26 years of experience in education, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Teaching from Fresno Pacific University and a Child Development Associate Teaching Permit. More importantly, I bring real-life experience and a deep understanding that there are often barriers to completing educational goals. I know what it takes to overcome adversity and build resilience, and I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

With over 10 years of experience as a family-strengthening professional, I’ve had the privilege of leading parenting classes and social skills groups for toddlers. My passion extends beyond my work as I volunteer for youth events, to build a safe supportive community. I look forward to working with you to support your goals in early education. Together, we can make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of children and help you build a fulfilling career in this meaningful field.
