About Maya

Hi, My name is Maya. I'm originally from Germany and have been living in Maui for 3 years. I live in Makawao with my husband and my stepson, who is 10 years old. I have a state-certified educator degree and a Bachelor's in Social Work from Germany, and I have over 6 years of experience working in preschools ages 2-6, including 1 year and a half at an outdoor preschool here in Maui. I grew up in a big family with 5 siblings and many cousins, which inspired my love for working with children. I have lots of experience with kids of different ages and love helping them grow into independent, confident, and curious individuals. I am patient and calm but also energetic and adventurous. I believe in clear communication of boundaries and safety rules while giving children plenty of opportunities to explore and learn about the world around them. I look forward to meeting you! Maya
