Itzel Delgado

Apprentice Lead Educator, Crystal Classroom (she/her/hers)

Hi! I’m Itzel Delgado, and I’m so excited to be the Apprentice Lead Teacher! This is my fourth year at Denver Cooperative Preschool, and I feel so lucky to be part of such a fun, creative, and caring community.

A little about me, I was born in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico, and grew up in Minturn, Colorado, before moving to Denver in 2022 with my husband, Zeke. We have two silly cats, Eazy and Kiwi, who always keep life interesting. In my free time, I love exploring Colorado and making art at home.

I recently finished my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and I’m so excited to finally have a break from college classes and focus fully on the classroom! Some of my favorite things to do with kids are building with blocks (especially ramps!), creating art, and storytelling. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and care deeply about making sure every child and family feels seen, supported, and included.

I’m grateful to be part of such an inspiring community where children, families, and teachers learn and grow together.
