Early Childhood Resources

Maria Montessori: I have always been curious on how this
approach works. Hands on learning is a great approach but it is completely
different to see a child basically self-engage at very young ages.

Jean Piaget: This was my favorite theorist while I was
studying for my bachelor’s. I believe that children have their own
interpretation of the world and as they come across problems and issues they
tend to figure things out on their own. I believe that with some assistance
they can create a better understanding of the world in which they live in.

Florida Head Start Program: I strongly believe in this
program. I feel that every child should have basic skills before entering
kindergarten. I picked the Florida head start program because I know that every
state has different requirements.

My Mom and Dad have always been my inspiration. They are both professors at Miami Dade College and have a great passion for education. You can say it runs in the blood. My parents were never too pushy; they let me take the reins of my own dreams and allowed me to participate in any and every activity that I wanted to be in. Growing up I was encouraged to be the best and when that failed I was encouraged to keep trying and never give up. One saying I remember clearly was “If you want to do it, then do it. There will never be anyone to stop you but yourself.” I am beyond grateful for them because till this day they are still helping me with school. If it wasn’t for them I would not be posting on this blog right now.

My grandfather and grandmother are my next inspirations. All they have ever wanted for me is just to be happy. They never judge and have always been there for me. As much as I love my parents I collided a lot with them. When I was 19 I moved in with my grandparents during construction at my home and I never left (till I moved out with my now husband). I was at peace and at liberty to grow up. I come from a Cuban/Costa Rican background and controlling boyfriends, activities, and way of life is all part of it, no matter the age. However my grandparents would communicate much better than my parents and the best part is that they trusted all of my decisions. Till this day they are there for me in every which way possible. I’m a lucky kid!
