Bianca Velez-Contreras | Lead Toddler Teacher

Hello Families!
My name is Bianca, and I’m so excited to be joining The Big Red Barn community!
I was born and raised in Colorado, although I spent a couple of my childhood years living in Mexico. I’ve always had a passion for working with children, which I believe comes from growing up in a large family and having two younger brothers of my own! I began my professional childcare journey earlier this year as a 2s teacher, but I’ve been babysitting for family and friends for as long as I can remember.
My goal in the classroom is to create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and heard. I believe it’s so important for children to feel comfortable expressing their feelings and knowing that their voices matter!
Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with family and friends and creating new memories. Whether that means going out to try new restaurants or staying in for a fun game night, I enjoy making the most of time with the people I love. I also adore baking and occasionally cooking! Although I’m still working on perfecting my skills, I’m having fun learning and getting better along the way.
I can’t wait to meet all of you and am so excited to be a part of The Big Red Barn community! 😊
