Glory Day Care

I was born and lived in Lima, Peru for 35 years. I graduated in Industrial engineer at Federico Villarreal University in Lima Peru. After immigrating to the United States of America, I went back to college (Broward Community College) and started taking English classes. Later, I received another bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Florida Atlantic University in 2008. Currently, I am pursuing a master's in Early Childhood Education at Towson University focusing on understanding the language, cognitive, physical, and social/emotional development of a child in the context of different points of influence, such as a multicultural, technology, the social/ prosocial and multilingual background.

I came to the U.S.A with my husband and three daughters, who at the time were 5 years old, 3 years old and 7 months old. I knew it would be completely different for us and we would face new challenges. The most important challenge would be to learn and master the language, English. The second and third challenges, respectively, was to become immersed in a new culture and new traditions and to face the new and different education system. I needed to be prepared in order to help my children start school correctly, since they were all very little (Kindergarten age and younger). My eldest daughter participated in ESOL classes, but she managed to get into Mathematics Advanced GEM (Great Explorations in Mathematics), which is a program for students to move faster through math subjects than they would in a regular program. My other two children were identified as Gifted students early-on. All these events and experiences help me better understand the U.S. education system.

In addition, to working with my children and as a college student, I had a lot of exposure in teaching. My experience as a substitute teacher in Florida showed me how the education system of different grades. I learned it is essential to make an impact early-on to help students thrive and be successful. As a teacher at a childcare center in Maryland, I saw firsthand how important diversity and inclusion is on young students. Now, as an owner and director of a small center (maximum 12 children) I see that children's education is not static but a dynamic process. My main goal is to make a difference in every child's future by bringing out their unique potential but always reminding them to laugh and to enjoy every moment.
