Xianting Chen

Lead Teacher, Preschool

I have always been passionate about working with children. I believe in fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young learners. I am committed to building strong partnerships with families and educators to ensure every child has the foundation for lifelong success.

I have over a decade of experience in early childhood education and afterschool program management. Prior to joining CASL, I served as a manager at an afterschool care center for five years, where I oversaw curriculum development, staff training, and family engagement initiatives. My leadership helped create safe, enriching environments that supported children’s growth and learning.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, dancing, practicing yoga, and exploring new culinary experiences. My dedication to both professional excellence and personal well-being reflect my holistic approach to education and life.
