Valeria is a psychologist and AMI certified Montessori Guide in both the 0–3 and 3–6 levels, shaped by a life lived across cultures. Originally from Chile, she has worked in Chile, the United States, and Germany—experiences that broadened her perspective and deepen her understanding of how children grow within diverse communities. With twenty years dedicated to early childhood, Valeria brings a warm, grounded presence paired with high expectations that help children reach their fullest potential. Rooted in clinical psychology and Montessori pedagogy, she guides children toward independence, problem solving, and a joyful love for learning. She believes that in a world facing complex human challenges, education must cultivate resilience, curiosity, and thoughtful engagement. Her work is centered on helping children become respectful, capable members of their communities—individuals who understand themselves, care for others, and contribute with integrity. Grounded by personal practices like yoga, meditation, piano, reading, creative work, and her ongoing studies in Chinese Medicine, she brings balance and authenticity to every environment she joins.
