Our Teachers

I am a Brazilian childcare provider with over 5 years of experience working with young children. I have a degree in Business Administration, a strong passion for early childhood education, and I specialize in the Montessori approach to foster independence and creativity. At my licensed daycare, I provide a safe, engaging, and educational space where children can grow. I also incorporate Portuguese lessons as part of the experience, introducing children to a second language in a fun and natural way. As a CPR-certified provider, I prioritize safety, and as a music lover, I use music as a tool for learning and development, making education more interactive and enjoyable.

Philosophy

At Sunny Steps Childcare, we believe that early childhood is a time of exploration, growth, and discovery. Our program is inspired by the Montessori approach, focusing on independence, hands-on learning, and respect for each child’s unique development. We provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn at their own pace. Through play-based learning, sensory activities, and outdoor exploration, we help children develop essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills.

❤️ Our Core Values: • Respect & Inclusion – Every child is unique and deserves to be treated with kindness and respect. • Independence & Confidence – We encourage children to make choices and explore the world with curiosity. • Safe & Loving Environment – As a CPR-certified provider, safety is a top priority, ensuring a secure and caring space for all children.
