About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Maria - a lifelong educator, mom, and lover of all things early childhood. For more than 20 years I've cared for young children as a preschool teacher, homeschool parent, Girl Scout leader, and Child Care Center Director. I'm also the author of The Nurtured Child and founder of The Nurtured Child Movement, where I teach families and educators a gentle, connection-based approach to raising kids. My style blends Conscious Discipline, mindfulness, and nature-based play. That means lots of patience, real eye contact, big-feeling support, outdoor adventures, books, art, and silly fun. Children in my care are safe, seen, and genuinely loved. I'd be honored to help your family. Let's chat!
