Who we are

My name is Mariana, I started Crafty Minds almost four years ago when my oldest child was one year old. I started my teaching journey a couple of years before working on a preschool as a yoga teacher for little ones.

My daughter Luna was my biggest inspiration as I started to notice her necessity for sensory experiences and how she loved being outdoors.

I dedicated the following years to study and understand children development, meanwhile I was teaching sensory and art classes to small children once a week.

My love from teaching grew with the years and we started building an amazing community of kids and wonderful parents, so we decided to become a micro-school, call it a homeschool since we open our home and our hearts to all these families to teach, grow and nurture.

On this journey our only wish is to be an important and valuable part of the children’s life, to build community and to follow an alternative way of learning.

To change the way society proposes education, and to treat our little ones like whole and unique human beings.

We respect each one of our students and believe in conscious parenting, we understand the importance of holding healthy limits and disciplining with kind words and no tears.

We encourage open and honest communication with parents, since we understand the importance of working together as a team for the benefit of the growing journey of our children.
