Mrs. Chauff has a long history with Visitation Catholic School and Church. She became a parishioner of Visitation Church when she was just 6 years old, and Mrs. Chauff's daughters are even Visitation alumni (her oldest daughter was in the very first Kindergarten class at Visitation in 1988)!
Mrs. Chauff began teaching pre-school in 1979 and worked for many years with this age group. Before coming to Visitation as a substitute teacher in 1992, Mrs. Chauff was instrumental in the opening of a Carousel Preschool located in El Segundo where she became the School Director. Following her role as a substitute at Visitation, Mrs. Chauff eventually became a part of the full-time staff - teaching in Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and 1st Grade.
Aside from her role as a teacher, Mrs. Chauff wears many hats at Visitation. She became involved with the Daycare Program in 1991 and was appointed the Daycare Director in 1996. Furthermore, she has been a Student Council Moderator for 14 years. During her many years of teaching, she has taken on a multitude of continuing education courses and has served in the prestigious role as a mentor teacher for approximately 5 years. In addition to her obvious love of children and teaching, Mrs. Chauff is a true Catholic role model. She has been a Eucharistic Minister since 1998 and became a certified Catechist in 2012.
Mrs. Chauff has always enjoyed working with the little ones; she gets much joy from watching their minds at work, all while they are having fun. There is no greater occupation than that of a teacher. To share in their excitement of learning and to see their smiling faces each day is truly one of Mrs. Chauff's greatest joys.
