Our Staff
Ernestine Mora has worked for the JCC since we opened in 2000. She provides the protective and loving care that every parent can appreciate, and is adoringly called "grandma" by many of our smallest patrons. Her dedication and supervision to the department has made the drop-in childcare second to none.
Monica Munoz has provided quality childcare in the department since 2005. Monica is currently working on an early childhood degree and cares for our JCC children as lovingly as she does her own who are also familiar faces at the JCC.
Ellisa Hoke has been with the drop-in childcare since 2009. Ellisa is always involved with the kids, doing art projects, reading books, or playing tag on the playground. Her gentle but energetic nature makes every child feel special.
Nikka Clifton welcomes our kids with open arms and youthful energy. She spends her time in the drop-in interacting with the kids and giving them all of her attention. She has worked with young children for many years.
Jami Bleeker has been a part of the JCC community for years. She provides every child with fun and loving care, and has unlimited patience. As a mom of three, she knows how precious and individual every child is.
Reina Archuleta is our newest staff member. She is studying education and has years of experience working with children. She will greet your child with a big smile and a warm hug.
Sarah Lopez has enjoyed watching the child of our center grow since 2007 when she started at the JCC. She is deeply engrained in the community of the center and enjoys seeing each and every little face that walks into our doors.
