Our Staff
Gisela Reed

I am a Biologist with an advance degrees in Biochemistry (MSc) and Biomedicine (PhD). I am originally from Colombia (Bogotá) and I am mother of a wonderful 5 years old daughter.
I want to introduce a Montessori inspired environment in the new center, to teach children how to learn using specific materials. Our classrooms are equipped with natural materials and Montessori-specific learning tools and out outdoor spaces are designed to support physical development and a connection with nature.
My goal is to embrace our kids' potential not only academically, but also emotionally and socially and encourage them to become compassionate and confident human beings.
