“The feeling we should have towards a new-born baby is not the compassion we have for the sick or weak, but reverence before the mystery of creation, the secret of an infinite taking bounded form”

-Maria Montessori

Ms. Martha - Nido 1 Head Guide

I am super excited to be a part of the Centennial Montessori team! I am certified with Montessori Fundamentals through Center for Guided Montessori Studies and am currently studying to receive my Child Development Associate (CDA). I have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Communication and have been in an educational position since 2014 as a Spanish Teacher in different countries as well as a Montessori Spanish Teacher for one year.
I came to the United States in 2017 from Singapore and am originally from Bogota, Colombia. Since I have moved to Colorado, I have loved it here! My son attends college in Colombia.
My Montessori experience has changed my life for the better. It is wonderful to be a part of early childhood education. Maria Montessori said that “The first task of education is to shake up life but to leave it free to develop.”​
