Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core. We do not want complacent pupils, but eager ones.
— Dr. Maria Montessori

Ms. Tania is proudly Colombian, born and raised in Bogotá. She studied in Colombia to be a lawyer, but always had a love for children. Since she was a teenager she helped her grandmother with her daycare.

In 2020, Tania decided to move from Colombia to America to learn her second language. She had the opportunity to work with children and volunteer at a school in Anchorage, Alaska. She recently moved to Arizona and is so excited to enjoy her new home.

As a professional goal, she wants to be a lead teacher one day and is excited to learn more about the Montessori environment and grow with Creo. She is very excited that her son will soon begin his education in Creo's Toddler House. In her free time she likes to watch movies with her husband Alex, dance, and play with her son Jack and her cat Vino.
