My name is Maria I have worked in early childhood education for over 26 years. I am excited to bring my years of experience into a new program and gain new skills. In my years of experience I have worked with a large diverse group of children and families. I have had the joy of working with many children with special needs and ESL in age groups from 18 months to 5 years old. I myself am bilingual, fluent in Spanish. I have a passion for working with children and building strong relationships with families and the
community. It is rewarding for me to see children grow and thrive in a natural environment and help inspire their creative thinking.

I am a mother of 3 daughters, one is currently finishing her BA in ECE, one is a senior graduating in June, and my youngest is starting driver’s ed this month. My husband and I are very family oriented and enjoy spending time with our children. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, taking long drives and listening to music. I consider myself an outgoing person and enjoying meeting new people.
