About the Provider

Description: My program is very simple. I teach the children how to respect each other, to sit and eat as a family at the table, on how to use the utensil, also eating healthy, and how it's important for the body, we learn about, letters, shapes, color, and numbers, we do circle time, with music, we learn in Spanish and English as Spanish is my first language, we do a lot of our learning through play, we do a lot of baking and often times make our own scrambled eggs, cut our vegetables, great walks to the parks near us and wonderful; walks in the Ethan Allen park (woods). We like to build things, we like to pick blueberries and raspberries in our neighborhood. We go outside twice a da,. We nap from 1 to 3 after our breakfast. Open door policy, with notice, encourage breastfeeding, potty training, every child learns at their own pace, not every child window of opportunity comes at different times, we all don't learn the same way.

Marta is a very kind, giving, patient provider who worked to accomodate my hectic schedule. My daughter absolutely loves her. Her house is a little off the beaten path, however, so it'd be better if you had a car for transport of your child.
