💛 "I truthly believe every child deserves access to nurturing, inclusive, and high-quality learning environments that support their full development and lifelong potential." — Brenda Gutiérrez
Little Explorers is more than a playgroup. It is a community where families can learn, connect, and be inspired while supporting their child's development during the important early years of life. Inspired by Montessori principles, mindfulness, permaculture, and current research on Braineducation. Little Explorers offers a warm and welcoming environment where babies can discover the world at their own pace while parents get inspired and build meaningful connections with other families.
💛 A place to connect, grow, and be inspired.

I have spent more than 17 years working with children, families, educators, and schools across Mexico, the United States, and Spain. In 2018, I founded Morning Glory Montessori in Gavà, Barcelona — a bilingual Montessori school that I led for seven years before a successful strategic transition in 2025.
Today, through Whole Child Lab, I support families and schools in creating the nurturing, high-quality learning environments that every child deserves.
