About me

Ms. Maria

Toddler Teacher

Hello, my name is Maria, and I’m so happy to be joining the Sandpipers classroom! I am an Early Childhood Educator with over 25 years of experience working with children ages 0–15. I speak English, Spanish, and intermediate Japanese, and I’m currently learning ASL and Korean! I love introducing children to language and culture through meaningful, age-appropriate ways. In my spare time, I volunteer as a NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassador and enjoy bringing that same sense of wonder and discovery into the classroom.

I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive
