Meet Claudia Dominguez-Loera

Nurturing Hearts and Minds with Purpose

With gentle determination and an intuitive understanding of children’s needs, Claudia Dominguez brings seven years of dedicated service to her role as Teacher. Her calming presence creates an atmosphere where even the most hesitant children feel safe to explore and grow. For Claudia, early childhood education isn’t simply a career—it’s a calling to help shape the youngest members of our community during their most formative years.

Claudia lives by a personal motto that resonates throughout her work: “If you put your mind to it, you will achieve it.” This empowering philosophy aligns beautifully with our mission at A Child’s Touch to build confident, capable children in a Christ-centered environment. When you hear her share this wisdom with a struggling preschooler or see her patiently guiding an infant’s first attempts at self-feeding, you witness her belief that every child has God-given potential waiting to be discovered.

The Art of Seeing Each Child

One of Claudia’s most remarkable gifts is her ability to recognize that children aren’t one-size-fits-all learners. She approaches each child as a unique individual, carefully observing their learning style and adapting her methods accordingly. This personalized attention ensures every child—from six-week-old infants requiring nurturing care to kindergarteners eager for new challenges—receives exactly what they need to thrive in our specialized learning environments.

“My greatest satisfaction comes from contributing to children’s learning and development,” Claudia shares with a genuine smile. “Watching a child grasp a new concept or master a skill they’ve been working on brings me immeasurable joy.” This heartfelt motivation shines through in her daily interactions, whether she’s celebrating a toddler’s first complete sentence or acknowledging a preschooler’s newfound ability to resolve conflicts peacefully. Her trained eye catches the small victories that build toward significant developmental milestones.

Building Trust Through Consistent Care

In our fingerprint-secured facility with over 70 security cameras, Claudia adds another essential layer of protection—emotional security. Her calm, consistent presence creates an atmosphere where children feel safe to explore, question, and grow. Parents frequently comment on how Claudia’s nurturing approach transforms morning drop-offs from potential tear-filled moments into smooth transitions filled with anticipation for the day ahead.

Claudia’s exceptional communication skills further strengthen the bonds of trust between A Child’s Touch and the families we serve. Parents appreciate her thoughtful updates about their child’s progress and her ability to address concerns with both sensitivity and clarity. This open dialogue creates a powerful partnership between home and school—a cornerstone of successful early childhood education. As one parent notes, “Claudia always takes time to share meaningful observations about my daughter’s day. She notices the small victories that might otherwise go uncelebrated.”

Faith and Values in Daily Practice

As part of our Christ-centered approach at A Child’s Touch, Claudia naturally embodies the core values that define our community. Her interactions with children and colleagues alike reflect kindness, respect, and compassion—values that form the bedrock of our faith-based foundation. Rather than teaching these principles through abstract lessons, Claudia models them in everyday moments, from mediating playground disagreements to encouraging children to care for our classroom environments.

Children in Claudia’s care learn life principles that will serve them well beyond their early years. Her patient guidance helps them navigate social interactions, develop empathy, and build character in age-appropriate ways. When you observe her classroom, you’ll notice how she gently redirects challenging behaviors while preserving each child’s dignity and self-worth—a testament to her belief that every child deserves to be treated with the same love and respect that Christ shows to all of us.

Beyond the Classroom: The Whole Person

Claudia’s personal passions for paddle boarding, volleyball, and dance inform her dynamic teaching style and reflect her belief in balanced living. She brings energy and movement into learning experiences, understanding that physical activity enhances cognitive development. This approach perfectly complements our facility’s emphasis on active play across our extensive outdoor spaces.

As someone who treasures family time, Claudia understands the profound trust parents place in A Child’s Touch. She approaches each child with the same thoughtfulness and respect she would want for her own family members, creating classroom environments that feel less like institutions and more like extensions of home. This family-centered perspective helps her connect authentically with parents, offering both practical guidance and emotional support as they navigate the joys and challenges of raising young children in today’s complex world.

A Heart for Growth and Service

In her years at A Child’s Touch, Claudia has demonstrated remarkable adaptability as educational approaches evolve and children’s needs change. Her commitment to professional growth reflects a humble acknowledgment that there is always more to learn when it comes to nurturing young minds. This learning spirit allows her to balance time-tested educational principles with innovative approaches that engage today’s children effectively.

What truly sets Claudia apart, however, is how she brings together professional expertise and genuine compassion in service to our A Child’s Touch community. Her balanced approach to structure and flexibility helps children develop both self-discipline and creativity. Her consistent boundaries create security while her natural warmth encourages exploration. Whether she’s leading children through activities in our Creation Station, guiding them through social interactions in our General Store, or simply sitting alongside a child who needs extra emotional support, Claudia ensures each moment at A Child’s Touch contributes to developing whole, healthy children who are thoroughly prepared for kindergarten and beyond. In her capable, caring hands, our center’s Christ-centered mission of nurturing children in body, mind, and spirit comes beautifully to life.
