For 15 years, Margaret Carmona has been making kids smile at SEARCH’s House of Tiny Treasures (HTT). As the co-lead teacher in the pre-k class, she has seen firsthand the impact that SEARCH and HTT make in people’s lives.
“I see new families arriving and hear their kids say things like, ‘we got our new bunk beds today,'” said Margaret. “And I get excited with them because they are now part of the family. It’s wonderful.”
Margaret received her associate’s degree in early childhood development and completed her internship while working at HTT. She has always known she wanted to work with children. Her favorite part of the day is when she drives the children home on the bus, because she gets to listen to the kids and hear what’s on their minds. Even more rewarding, she says, is seeing her former students grow up and become successful.
“These kids, they’re my extended family. I truly believe in them, I know it. I am going to see them and say, ‘I used to teach them!’ They’re going to make it. They’re going to soar.”
