Malia Higginson - Associate Teacher
​
Ms. Malia grew up in the Channel Islands area of Oxnard.  As a child, her favorite activities were going to the beach and collecting sea glass with her family and being outside playing with her dogs.  


For college, she went to Santa Barbara City College, initially studying psychology.  As she progressed, she realized that she was most interested in the lives and development of young children, and so she switched to studying early childhood education.  

During school, Ms. Malia did her student teaching at the Orfalea Children’s Center Lab School at SBCC, and then was hired to work as an Associate Teacher there which she’s done for the past two years. 

As a big believer that children learn so much in nature, one of the things that attracted her to Cathedral Oaks Preschool was that so much of the learning environment is outdoors.  She finds the people of COP to be exceptionally warm and welcoming, and appreciates that the teachers take what they do seriously.
