All About Marietta:
I received a B.A. degree in Sociology, a Master’s degree in
Elementary and Remedial Education, and a doctorate in Early Childhood Education
from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I hold a life- time credential in Nursery-Elementary
Education.
I started my career as a kindergarten teacher with the
Buffalo Public Schools. During my
10-year tenure with the Buffalo
public Schools, I also taught in first grade, preschool, and After School-Age
programs. I love working with children
and parents, and have had extensive experience working in preschool programs
like Head Start and other state and federally funded programs. I often teach parent education classes and
experience the joy of assisting parents to better understand their children.
I began my college career as an Associate Professor at Erie
Community College, Child
Development Department, Buffalo,
New York.
I was next employed as Head Teacher for the State University of New York
at Buffalo Early
Childhood Education
Laboratory School
in the preschool, and infant and toddler programs, and then Head Teacher for
the Cornell University’s
Preschool Laboratory. I later served as
Associate-In-Human Development, and Assistant Director of the University
of California at Davis
Early Childhood Laboratory
School.
I first came to Gavilan College 24 years ago, as the
Director of the Child Development
Center, and Coordinator of Child
Development. During my tenure at
Gavilan, I also served as Department Chair for Social Sciences, Grants
Development Officer, and Director of JTPA.
I am presently the Lead Faculty of Child Development and Educational
Studies, and Department Chair for Technical and Public Service Education.
My first love is teaching child development classes. The college students are so eager to learn
and it is very rewarding to know that I am helping to prepare the future
teachers and childcare workers for our communities. It is very exciting to finally be in our new Child
Development Center. It was many years in the planning, and now to
see the Child Development
Center building filled with
children, parents and staff is truly a dream come true. The excellent CDC staff and director are all
former students! What more can a teacher
hope for?
This is truly an exciting time to be in Early Childhood
Education. There are many and varied
opportunities for training and employment, and I welcome the opportunity of
meeting with you and talking about child development issues, careers,
parenting, and programs in your community.

The Child Development Training
Consortium
I am the Campus Coordinator for the Child Development
Training Consortium, CDTC. The CDTC was
created to address the critical shortage of qualified childcare workers in the
state of California. To meet this responsibility, the CDTC
provides a variety of services, which better prepare students for continued
employment in the field of child care/development. The grant at Gavilan
College reimburses tuition for students who are
employed at state and federally funded preschool, childcare and school-age
centers, as well as privately funded programs, and licensed family day care
providers. Please stop by my office to
learn more about the program, and fill out a Participation Profile application.
