I am an experienced, bilingual teacher from Cuba with a passion for working with children of all ages. I have strong leadership skills and I am well equipped to handle any situation I encounter. I have been teaching for over 14 years.

I've been teaching for about 1.5 years and I am excited to continue in this field. I hope to further my education in early childhood development through both formal schooling and hands-on experience. Guiding children through milestones and seeing them grow before your eyes in truly incredible. It makes me proud to be a teacher.

OUR STAFF

As an accredited, Gold Seal preschool, all lead teachers must have a CDA (Child Development Associate) certificate or a college degree with

coursework in early childhood.

In addition, all staff must complete a minimum of 24 hours of annual in-service training, pass local, state, and FBI background checks (Level II Screening), and maintain current pediatric CPR and first aid certificates!


Maha Youssef, 2's Teacher

I am an experienced childcare provider who has been working in the field for 21 years. I am dedicated to helping children better understand the world around them through meaningful instruction. I believe learning enriches the lives of both children and parents.

As a VPK teacher, I find solace in helping little minds grow and get ready for kindergarten. Growing up, I worked on a Bachelor's Degree in Commerce but after moving to the United States I chose a more rewarding career in childcare. I have 11 years of experience as a teacher and director.
