Helping children THRIVE and empowering the adults
who support them.

Little Explorers — Whole Child Lab
Early Childhood Specialist  ·  Montessori Guide  ·  Educational Consultant & Parent

At Whole Child Lab, we believe that when children are truly supported — intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and creatively — they flourish. And when the adults around them are empowered with the right tools and knowledge, everyone thrives.

With more than 17 years of international experience in education, Montessori pedagogy, school leadership, and child development, we offer playgroups, educational consulting, and practical resources for families, educators, and schools.

Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a school leader — you have come to the right place.

I believe every child deserves access to nurturing, inclusive, and high-quality learning environments that support their full development and lifelong potential.

EARLY CHILDHOOD SPECIALIST · MONTESSORI GUIDE · EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT & PARENT


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.
