Heidi Flores
Site Supervisor
Hello everyone. My name is Heidi Flores. I have been happily married to my wonderful husband for over 27 years. We have a 24-year-old daughter who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from San Marcos State and a 19-year-old son who works in the field of electricity. I enjoy spending quality time with my family. We love going to the movies; we are huge fans of the Marvel movies. Dancing and traveling are other passions of mine.
I have been in the Early Childhood Education Field for about 23 years. I hold my Site Supervisor credentials from the State of Sacramento. My journey in this field began as a substitute teacher for the Head Start programs, and I've always known this was a field that I am most passionate about. I have worked in both public and private preschools. My family and I moved from East County in April 2014, and we feel very fortunate to have settled in this beautiful community. I am grateful to have found a job close to my house in La Jolla Indian Reservation. I will soon be celebrating my 10-year anniversary with this company, SCTCA. RCCDC has become my second home. I started as an Associate Teacher and worked to obtain the Site Supervisor position. I am thankful to work in a field I am passionate about, and I genuinely love assisting families enrolled in our small but loving program.
Kimberly Lopez
Assistant Site Supervisor
Hi everyone! I have worked here at Rincon Community Child Development Center as the center's cook since August 17, 1981. My responsibilities were to plan and prepare healthy meals for the children. At that time, I was a part-time employee. Then, in 1985, I started taking classes at Palomar College in the Child Development field and was hired in the afternoon as an Instructional Assistant. As I continued my education at Palomar College, I earned my Teacher’s Permit and worked in the classroom full-time from January 1988 through August 19, 2003. I left RCCDC to work for MAAC Project Head Start as a Site Supervisor/Master Teacher, continuing to work with children and parents in the classroom. I came back to RCCDC on January 12, 2005, as a Master Teacher with new ideas and making positive changes in the classroom. I enjoy working with children and families and have continued my education at Palomar College. I became the Site Supervisor in 2013. I completed my AA Degree in the spring of 2014. My husband and I love to travel, go to pow-wows, and go to the movies. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am retired as of April 21, 2023, but I can sub when the center needs my help.
Denise Wille
Master Teacher
Hi there. I am Ms. Denise and have been a teacher here at Rincon Community Child Development Center since February of 2014. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Development for over 25 years. I am a proud mother of 3 children with 5 beautiful grandchildren, which includes a set of twins! What a wonderful surprise that was! I currently hold a Master Teacher/Site Supervisor level permit with the State of California. I absolutely adore children at this age and their desire to learn and explore. I enjoy meeting new families and collaborating together to help nurture their children’s educational success. I am very lucky to have a teaching career that is so fulfilling and rewarding.
Elizabeth Belardes
Associate Teacher
Hi Parents,
My name is Elizabeth Belardes, and I am the cook/ Associate Teacher here at Rincon Community child development center. I was hired in September 2016 and have worked here for eight years. In those eight years, I was also a custodian for RCCDC. I also joined Classroom 1 as an instructional aid in 2021. Within the last couple of years, I have taken early childhood education classes to meet the requirements to be an Associate Teacher in classroom 1. I have been married to my wife for 8 years and have 5 kid’s 2 girls and 3 boys. The oldest is 19, and my oldest son is 17, who just graduated high school. My 13-year-old just graduated from 8th grade and is on to high school. My 11 year old is in 7th grade. My youngest is gonna be six and off to 1st grade. My family is the most essential thing in my life, and I am so fortunate to have such wonderful kids and a beautiful wife to hold us all together.
I am grateful to be working here at RCCDC. We are like a small family. I love seeing the kid’s everyday and know I am providing them with healthy meals. I enjoy cooking. I've been cooking since I was a young girl. This job allows me to express myself and my creativity when it comes to food. I go to annual training sessions that teach me how to plan, prepare and serve healthy meals that keep me up to date with any changes to our food program. I am very excited to be in the classroom with the kids and know I am molding young minds to learn and be creative. They are our future and to see their faces every morning ready and excited to come to school brings me great joy. I am Mrs. Liz. I am the Teacher in the 4-5 year old classroom and I welcome you and your child to RCCDC.
Leslie Saldana
Instructional Aide
Hello parents! My name is Ms. Leslie. I am a resident of Valley Center CA but was born in Escondido CA. I am the oldest of 3 younger brothers. I really love working with kids and love to experience new things with them! I enjoy working at RCCDC because it is a small but special place where we can connect with our kids even more!
Some of my favorite hobbies are going to the beach and road trips. My current favorite beach is La Jolla beach and also Del Mar beach! My favorite road trips are going to really pretty views. I also love hiking! I love to learn new things and RCCDC has allowed me to extend and further my education in the Early Childhood Education field!
To wrap my biography paragraph I will like to thank you for trusting us with your child and for choosing us as your kids' other home. RCCDC is an opportunity that has been given, for me and also for you and your child! Our team is a team you count on and trust. Thank you for reading my “All about me letter!”
Simone Rawson
Associate Teacher
Hello parents and family of RCCDC students!
I am Ms. Simone, an Associate Teacher in the four and five year old class here at RCCDC. I became an Associate Teacher here in January 2024. I was originally hired as an Instructional Aide in June of 2023. Since then, I have taken 12.5 units of Child Development, including Child Growth & Development, Child Safety & Nutrition, Guidance for Young Children, and Child, Family, & Community. I now have my Associate Teacher Certification!
Working with children has always been a dream of mine! I have known I wanted to be a mother since I was a child, and have been working with children since I was 13. Initially, I entered the restaurant industry, which I would remain in for five years. I spent my final year in the restaurant looking for a job in child education, and just so happened to know a parent whose child attended here at RCCDC. I applied for the job and immediately fell in love with it!
When I was a student, I had such amazing connections with my teachers and each of them played a part in shaping who I am today. The opportunity to give a child the same experience I had would be enough to spend a lifetime in this field. I am beyond honored to be a part of this program and a witness to your child’s growth!
When I am not here, I am most likely at In-N-Out, the beach, Ulta, or my bed!
Michele Nelson
Cook
My name is Michele Nelson and I am from the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians Tribal Community. I attended Pauma Elementary School, Sherman Indian High School and graduated in Fallbrook. I attended Dine` College and received my A.A. in Social & Behavioral Science and immediately transferred to Arizona State University to obtain my Bachelors of Science in American Indian Studies (emphasis in Tribal Government Leadership).
I enjoy cooking, reading, walking and hiking. I am the second to youngest of 7 siblings. As a young adult, I was very busy traveling back and forth to Arizona to care for my nieces and nephews. I have one child whose pronouns are he/him and he also attended RCCDC. I myself attended RCCDC and I remember enjoying applesauce at snack time. I also experienced my first walk and hike here at RCCDC. The teachers walked our class to the Rincon riverbed as we all held hands and sat together for lunch. This early memory marked the start of my hobby which is taking nature walks and hikes whenever possible, rain or shine.

Southern California Tribal Digital Village
Southern California Tribal Digital Village
The Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association(SCTCA) is addressing the lack of Internet access for its tribal communities, taking their wireless broadband network to the next level of support for its communities, the "tribal home". It has been a long term goal of the Tribal Digital Village(TDV), an SCTCA program that spawned the TDV Network (TDVNet) back in 2001 to bring Internet services to our key community buildings and programs. We have done the ground work to support key community operations on reservations, and created over 650 miles of point-to-point and point-to-multi-point links supporting 105 tribal buildings, i.e.- tribal administration buildings, EPA departments, fire stations, law enforcement, utilities departments, and Libraries, Schools and Head Start programs. We have the Infrastructure in place to support such an endeavor, and the desire from the people to have access to broadband. We are actively deploying the next phase of TDVNet's deployment.

Tribal TANF
Program Flyers and Notices
About Tribal TANF
Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families will make available the tools necessary to promote the empowering of Indian families to become self-sufficient so they can support and nurture themselves, their children, and community.
In 1996 Congress amended the Social Security Act, by replacing Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the Job Opportunity and Basic Skills Program (JOBS), and Emergency Assistance (EA) with block grants to States for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Included in the authorization for this new block grant system were provisions for block grants to eligible Tribes. Federally-recognized Indian Tribes and certain Alaska Native organizations are now provided the opportunity to administer their own TANF programs in a manner similar to the States.
In 1998, the Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association began providing TANF benefits to the 18 federally-recognized tribes in San Diego County and the Santa Ynez Tribe in Santa Barbara County. In 2006, SCTCA began servicing the entire San Diego County which allowed Tribal TANF to also offer services to Native Americans residing off of the reservations. We are excited to have the opportunity to support the needs of all Native people living in the county.
Our program has been created by Native Americans and for Native Americans with the purpose of addressing the cultural, social and economic needs of families and those who are guardians of Native American children.
In order to be eligible for the Tribal TANF program, you must meet the following criteria:
Eligibility
- One member of the household must be able to provide proof of membership with federally recognized tribe through enrollment or lineal descendency from the California Judgement rolls.
- Have a needy, minor dependent in your home or be the guardian/ caretaker or a needy Native American minor or be in your third trimester of pregnancy.
- Reside within San Diego County, Orange County, or Santa Barbara County.

Nativehire
[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Headline_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]
Nativehire is a non-profit job search engine, (similar to Monster.com), specifically geared to Native Americans. It is a division of the Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association and was born out of a collaboration between Tribes, Federal Contractors and the Department of Labor.
Originally unveiled in April of 2012, Nativehire has grown from a small search engine focused on the San Diego County area to a National website servicing all Native American and Alaska Natives across the United States. With so many tribes across the United States it has been difficult for employers to reach out to all of the different communities equally. Nativehire can now serve as a centralized location for Native job seekers and employers to meet.
Nativehire is committed to strengthening our workforce, and as such, all proceeds made by the company are put back into the community in the form of scholarships and training programs. Through partnerships with local organizations and large corporations, Nativehire is a great resource for Native American job seekers.
Vision: To be Native American’s premier employment resource for Employers, Job Seekers, and Tribal Communities.

[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Headline_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]
Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association (SCTCA) is establishing the Tribal Energy Innovation Accelerator (TEIA), a dynamic ecosystem that will systematically and rapidly advance clean energy technology and solutions that benefit SCTCA Member Tribes along with surrounding communities. The TEIA region, spanning the lands of participating SCTCA Tribes, is poised for a transformative investment in clean energy innovation and development. SCTCA Tribes bring a strong need and major opportunity for clean energy solutions, workforce development, and economic development. SCTCA Tribes also offer unique potential to support rapid growth by hosting innovative clean energy projects, including demonstration/pilot projects and manufacturing facilities. Ultimately, TEIA will drive development of technologies, businesses, and projects that build robust, sustainable, and resilient regional and local clean energy economies.
The initial TEIA project will support refinement of strategies and plans for the envisioned engine; initial staffing; outreach, engagement, and collaboration to solidify current and prospective partnerships; formalization of the partnership organization; and initiation of clean energy innovation and development activities. This project will address key gaps affecting Tribes’ access to innovative clean energy technologies and development opportunities by providing dedicated central resources, including staff and partners with the full range of skills and knowledge to support R&D and development across the region. Collaborative processes will facilitate gathering ideas, knowledge, methods, and expertise from partners across many different disciplines, technical and non-technical. This effort will yield tangible translational outcomes including innovative clean energy technology solutions, resilient clean energy-producing systems, Tribal entrepreneurial businesses, and clean energy jobs complemented by workforce development services.
TEIA is funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Regional Innovation Engines Type 1 grant. TEIA partner organizations include Prosper Sustainably, Cleantech San Diego, University of California Riverside, University of California San Diego, GRID Alternatives, and Microgrid Institute.
