About

Welcome to Play and Grow! My name is Maria, and I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and grow.

My love for childcare began early while growing up in my mother’s home daycare. Over the years, I have worked with children of all ages in both childcare and educational settings. I earned my bachelor’s degree from University of California, Davis and later received my master’s degree from San José State University, where I also taught Spanish at the college level.

As a licensed childcare provider and mother, I understand the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment for children and families. Our small program allows me to provide individualized care and meaningful learning experiences that help children grow with confidence and curiosity every day.
