Who’s behind Big Sis Daycare?

Savannah Jan – Lead Preschool Teacher

As a recent graduate from College of San Mateo, Savannah has more than four years’ worth of experience working with children from daycare to middle school age. She has held positions as a babysitter and nanny to a few families, as well as an assistant teacher at Sunshine School in the San Jose area where she grew up.

She also serves as a private piano teacher, and has had the fortunate opportunity to play in Carnegie Hall, win awards from the International US Open, participate in Masterworks, an intensive music summer training in Spartansburg, SC, as well as obtain MTAC’s Certificate of Merit for the Advanced Level in Piano. 

She hopes to instill a deeper love and appreciation for music and arts in as many kids as possible, as well as encourage and inspire them to achieve their highest potential, whether it is academically, socially, or personally.

Jennifer Zhong – Daycare Teacher

A mother of two, Jennifer has weathered the highs and lows of being the main support beam for her children. In her 20s, she immigrated alone to the States from Guanzhou, China, and proceeded to graduate from Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo with a degree in business. She highly values lifelong, self-education and entrepreneurship, and hopes to instill the same in her children.

Constantly, she reminds her children to always do better than the day before, and she feels it is her duty to support and assist her children to the best of her ability. Jennifer’s go-getter attitude is balanced by her love for meditation and  long walks.
