Baby Purple Dragons
For children 2.5 to 3.5 years of age.
The Baby “Purple” Dragons classroom is painted a lovely shade of lavender which suggests refinement along with grace and elegance.
Shades of purple have a special relationship with nature, and this classroom looks out into the garden. The use of lavender signifies balance and allows the children to know they are unique and special. It can calm the mind and encourage creativity.
Ms. Mariah

Baby Purple Dragons
Ms. Mariah was born and raised in Los Angeles. She found her passion of becoming an early childhood educator in the 7th grade after volunteering with 2 ½ to 5 year olds for an after school program. As an alumni of our local neighborhood Marshall High, Ms Mariah is currently attending Pasadena City College to complete her degree in Child Development. One of her goals is to become an elementary school teacher for kindergartners or 1st graders, and eventually a professor for child development.
Ms. Mariah is very close to her family as they are a huge part of her everyday life. She has a younger brother who attends John Marshall and a younger sister. Outside of teaching, she enjoys hiking, working out at the gym, and exploring new places. In her free time she likes to journal and read books, as well as the expression of painting and dancing. Whenever there is a pocket of free time on her days off, she likes to squeeze in a good nap!
