First Grade Teacher
While I was studying International Relations at the U.A.C.A. University in San José, Costa Rica, I was asked to work as a teacher’s assistant at Lincoln School. This prospect was very exciting to me as it meant returning to the school that I had graduated from and held fond memories of. To my surprise, on the first day on the job, I realized that I had found my true passion.

I have been working at Country Day School since 2014 teaching Prep and 1st Grade. Here I have enjoyed combining the elements of each teaching style into my classroom, becoming more confident in my own eclectic style of teaching.
Hi! My name is Paola Chavarría I’m from Costa Rica. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Bilingual Preschool Education, and a Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, and a Degree in Learning Disabilities from Universidad Veritas.
Teaching Assistant
Aloha! My name is Rocio Rivas, I am from one of the most beautiful countries in the world: Costa Rica!
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Preschool Education from Universidad Metropolitana.
Second Grade Teacher
This is my 16th year teaching and my second year at Country Day School. I feel this is my home. I love teaching second grade and I cannot picture myself doing something else every day.
After a great experience working at Blue Valley School, a transfer to Country Day School was a welcoming change for me. I began teaching prep for five years, then first grade for ten years, and I am now starting my third year as a second grade teacher, now beginning my nineteenth year at Country Day School.
I graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a Bachelor’s Degree in Developmental Psychology. Soon after graduating, I returned to UCSB to earn a Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential (K-8) from the Graduate School of Education.
I have been working in Country Day School since 2017 and consider it my home; I attended CDS myself. I enjoy learning alongside my students and tailoring a curriculum to meet their needs.
