Dannielle Nogaliza

My name is Danielle Nogaliza, and I am the director of MSPK.

About me

I spend a good amount of time teaching in the preschool room as I love to build relationships with the children. I have been in the early childhood development field since 1992. I previously worked at the Napa Valley College child care center as a preschool teacher until God called me to become a director here at MSPK. I am grateful to be here and share God’s Word with the children and their families.

I am happily married to my husband Aldwin, and we have 4 wonderful kids (3 daughters and 1 son), and one amazing granddaughter. We love to travel, and just spend time TOGETHER.

Family is everything to me… and I do consider the staff and children of MSPK my family. I am so blessed to be here to serve the Lord through the amazing children and families that He brings to MSPK. 🥰

I am a fan of Wonder Woman.

Hi there. My name is Teacher Belle. I’m SO thrilled to have your toddler in my class. I look forward to the upcoming school year and all the FUN they’ll have as they learn and grow through play.  Thank YOU for trusting me to partner with you in guiding your child to help them reach their fullest potential. It is my honor and privilege for this opportunity.

About me

2+ years ago God blessed me with the opportunity to start a new career in Early Childhood Education (ECE). In 2020, I had the privilege to help teach and guide the children of MSPK. Ever since then, it has been my passion. I am currently taking courses to expand my knowledge in ECE with the intent of obtaining my Site Supervisor Permit. My overall goal as an EC provider at MSPK, is threefold. First, to support parents/caregivers in guiding their child(ren) towards achieving their developmental goals. Second, to establish and nurture genuine connections with every child where they feel safe, cared for, and valued. Lastly, to help teach and build upon each child’s knowledge of Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. It is because of His amazing grace and unending love for me, that I have the privilege to serve the families and children of MSPK wholeheartedly. I’m happily married to my husband, Dennis of 8 years. Together, we care for our sweet, 4-year-old Chihuahua Terrier mix, Mochiko, ‘Mochi’ for short. We love doting on her every free moment we get. We don’t have any children of our own however, God has blessed us with 1 niece, 2 nephews, and 11 God-children combined. We shower them all with love and make sure they know how treasured and special they are to us. Along with them, God has blessed me with even more children- ALL the children of MSPK!!!

I’m a HUGE homebody. I relish my quiet time at home and would choose staying-in over being out and about. I
absolutely love the beach. I can spend an entire day listening to the waves and taking in God’s creation. I love going
on Foodie Adventures with my husband but am SO completely content staying-in and cooking at home. I enjoy
plants and have several throughout our home. I also enjoy listening to music. The words have a way of ‘feeding’ my
soul- Contemporary Christian and Gospel, Jazz, R&B, 80’s and 90’s Slow Jams and YES, even Country!!

Lani Pagmanua

Hello everyone. I have been a teacher for over 30 years! I have been with MSPK for about 13 years. I do believe that God wants me to make a loving impact in children’s lives. It is a high calling from God to teach young children.
My philosophy as a teacher:
My first and most important goal is to LOVE children.  When children are loved and cared, for they will be willing to trust and obey. They will love to learn and enjoy school. They will feel safe and feel confident. They will learn how to love one another and also receive love themselves.
We are a play base school, which allows them to use their imagination and learn through play. But I also believe in balancing play with fun and guided structure where they will be able to develop in all the growing areas and to begin kindergarten ready!
It has been a honor to be a preschool, TK, and kindergarten teacher here at MSPK! God has been so good! It’s a beautiful place to grow up!

About me

I have been married for 34 years to my husband, Jon.  I have two children, Ashely who is 29 and Niko who is 25. We love to spend time together as family and travel the world! I have an amazing corgi named Cooper!
