Meet Antoinette Lucero

Inspiring Young Minds Through Creative Education

At A Child’s Touch Christian School, every teacher contributes uniquely to our nurturing environment, and Antoinette Lucero exemplifies the passion and dedication that make our early childhood education program exceptional. As a Teacher Float, Antoinette moves through classrooms with enthusiasm and innovative teaching approaches that captivate children’s imaginations and foster their development in our Christ-centered environment.

With five years of experience in early childhood education, Antoinette has developed a teaching philosophy that aligns perfectly with A Child’s Touch’s mission of providing quality care and education in a loving, Christian atmosphere. Her academic background, including an Associate’s Degree in Child Psychology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, provides her with a deep understanding of child development that informs her creative approach to teaching. Antoinette’s ability to combine her academic knowledge with hands-on experience allows her to create a learning environment where children feel supported, inspired, and encouraged to explore their potential.

The Joy of Making a Difference

“Having an opportunity to impact a child’s life is the most fulfilling role I have as a teacher,” Antoinette shares. This sentiment echoes throughout everything she does at A Child’s Touch, where our teachers are committed to nurturing each child’s spiritual, emotional, physical, social, and cognitive development. Antoinette’s dedication to making a difference is evident in her interactions with children, where she consistently strives to create moments of connection and growth.

In our infant, toddler, preschool, and kindergarten programs, Antoinette brings her whole heart to the classroom. Her ability to connect with children across different age groups makes her an invaluable member of our teaching team, allowing her to support our consistent, high-quality care throughout all our programs. Whether she’s comforting an infant, guiding a preschooler through a creative activity, or encouraging a kindergartener to explore new ideas, Antoinette’s presence is a source of joy and reassurance for both children and parents.

Creative Learning That Leaves a Lasting Impact

What makes Antoinette unique in her role? “I love to think outside the box as a teacher,” she explains. “I am very creative and love to bring learning to life. I believe that the way you bring lessons to life leaves more of an impact on a child—not just learning the material but applying it to everyday life. Learning should be fun in every way!”

This philosophy perfectly complements A Child’s Touch’s curriculum, which is designed to provide children with hands-on experiences that promote discovery and growth. Antoinette’s ability to transform ordinary lessons into extraordinary learning experiences ensures that children remain engaged and excited about their education. Whether she’s leading activities in our spacious classrooms or engaging children in our expansive outdoor play areas, Antoinette creates memorable learning experiences that help children develop a lifelong love of learning.

Antoinette’s creative approach often involves integrating art, music, and storytelling into her lessons, allowing children to explore their imaginations while building essential skills. Her ability to adapt her teaching methods to suit the needs and interests of each child ensures that every student feels valued and supported in their learning journey. By fostering an environment where creativity and curiosity thrive, Antoinette helps children develop confidence in their abilities and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

Bringing Physical Activity into Learning

Outside of work, Antoinette’s passion for physical fitness enhances her teaching approach. “I love to workout. I am a very physical person,” she shares. Her background as a High School Cheerleading Workout Coach has given her unique skills that she brings to A Child’s Touch.

“I used to come up with creative fun workouts for my cheerleaders that involved cardio and strength building,” Antoinette explains. “I also have done little workout sessions with the kids at A Child’s Touch, doing standing push-ups as I teach them to count while they wait in line or doing side lunges as we count!”

This integration of physical activity into learning aligns perfectly with A Child’s Touch’s commitment to developing the whole child. By encouraging children to engage in physical activities that are both fun and educational, Antoinette helps them develop healthy habits and a positive attitude toward physical fitness.

Antoinette’s ability to seamlessly blend physical activity with academic learning ensures that children remain active and engaged throughout the day. Her innovative methods, such as incorporating movement into counting lessons or using exercises to teach spatial awareness, provide children with opportunities to develop their motor skills while reinforcing key concepts. This dynamic approach to teaching reflects Antoinette’s commitment to nurturing every aspect of a child’s development.

Faith-Centered Teaching

Like all our staff at A Child’s Touch, Antoinette’s work is guided by faith. Her favorite life motto—”With God All things are possible”—reflects the Christian values that form the foundation of our school’s approach to early childhood education. Antoinette’s faith-centered perspective allows her to approach her work with compassion, patience, and a deep sense of purpose.

This faith-centered perspective allows Antoinette to nurture not only children’s minds but also their hearts and spirits. At A Child’s Touch, we believe that spiritual development is an essential part of early childhood education, and teachers like Antoinette help children develop a sense of wonder, gratitude, and compassion through daily activities and interactions. By incorporating prayer, Bible stories, and Christian values into her teaching, Antoinette helps children build a strong spiritual foundation that will guide them throughout their lives.

Antoinette’s ability to integrate faith into her teaching ensures that children feel supported and loved in a way that goes beyond academics. Her commitment to fostering a Christ-centered environment allows children to develop a sense of belonging and purpose, helping them grow into compassionate and confident individuals.
