Welcome to Kindergarten!
Hello, my name is Mr. Mendoza, and I am one of the Kindergarten teachers here at IACS. I have worked in Early Childhood Education for 6 years. This will be my 4th school year at IACS. My degree is in Early Childhood Education from Colorado Mesa University. My goal as an educator is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to explore and learn.
I have lived in the Grand Valley for 16 years. When I am not in the classroom, I generally will be involved in a theatre production in some capacity. Either acting or assistant directing, but also help with children's productions as well. In the school setting I run the afternoon Theatre Club in the Spring and work with all of the children to put on a musical.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you all this year!

Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other's achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain.
