Welcome to Room 22's Home Page!

Our teacher is: MS. STEPHENS

My name is Ms. Socorro Stephens; I am the third through fifth grade Child Development Center Teacher, as well as Teacher-In-Charge at Madison CDC. I currently hold a certificated Child Development teaching permit from the state of California, and an A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have two years experience in ESL and Special Education, in addition to being a member of the Los Angeles Harbor College Child Development Committee.  I have taught at Madison since 1994 and have been employed by the Redondo Beach Unified School District since 1990.

In room 22 we collectively strive to achieve an effective program which meets the developmental, academic, cultural, social and emotional needs of each child; through homework assistance, journal and creative writing, math skill games, daily thirty-minute reading that coincides with the STAR reading program, reading logs, physical education. We also implement educational projects and fun filled arts & crafts activities.

Our professional goal is to establish new ideas, skills and different approaches to problem solving. We utilize unique, motivating, enriching and innovative ways to apply academics at the appropriate age without suppressing a child’s self~esteem, creativity or zest for play.

We are looking forward to having a successful and productive school year.

Yours truly,

Ms. Stephens
