Cassaundra Wages

Cassaundra joined JAMaROO Kids in the Fall of 2025 as a Full-time San Francisco and Marin based teacher with 5+ years of experience working in education and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Humboldt State University. 

Cassaundra’s experience working with children has included being a program manager, art teacher,  paraeducator, and substitute teacher prior to joining JAMaROO Kids. Her teaching style is influenced by Reggio Emilia principles and emphasizes exploration through art, music, and music-based learning. 

Cassaundra has a lifelong love of the performing arts. She grew up immersed in music, teaching herself to play ukulele and piano, and singing in choirs throughout her school years. She also explored theater and musicals as a child, giving her a strong foundation in vocal performance. Dance has been another creative outlet, from taking childhood classes to incorporating movement into her teaching today. 

In addition to her performing arts background, Cassaundra has practiced yoga for several years. She incorporates stretching, and simple yoga flows into her classes, helping children build body awareness, balance, and mindfulness.

Cassaundra has many hobbies that keep her busy like theatre, yoga and painting. She also enjoys beach days, hiking, drinking tea and watching 1980’s movies! 

When Cassaundra was asked what she loves about teaching for JAMaROO Kids and working with children, she responded with, “All the happy faces I get to see everyday! I am  proud to be part of the JAMaROO Kids team and to contribute to a program that values curiosity, imagination, and connection. Whether I’m guiding toddlers in music and movement, leading preschoolers in creative art projects, or sparking curiosity through imagination, my goal is always to cultivate joy, confidence, and a love of learning in every child.”
