Sheila Pharis

Executive Director

My philosophy of Early Childhood Education is based on the belief that every child deserves a safe space to be themselves and explore; when they have that, they will thrive in every way.

Mi filosofía de la educación de la primera infancia se basa en la creencia de que cada niño merece un espacio seguro para ser ellos mismos y explorar; cuando tengan eso, prosperarán en todos los sentidos.​

Elizabeth Guerrero

Teacher ​

I am a teacher who enjoys being around children. I’m a very patient person that likes to get down to the children’s level and view everything from a child’s point of view. I enjoy singing children's songs and reading books to children, as well as storytelling. A big plus is that I love to help children discover a little bit of what they want and who they are. 

Soy una maestra que disfruta estar cerca de los niños. Soy una persona muy paciente a la que le gusta agacharse a estar al mismo nivel de los niños y ver todo desde el punto de vista de un niño. Me gusta cantar canciones infantiles y leer libros a los niños, así como contar cuentos. Una gran ventaja es que me encanta ayudar a los niños a descubrir un poco de lo que disfrutan y quiénes son.
