Our Staff

Gisela Reed

Founder and Director of Bright Eyes Early Learning Center.

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 3.5 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.
