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.

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.
