Guiding the Future: Empowering Children Through Mindfulness, Peace, and Nature

Speaker, Educator, Consultant, Advocate

Hello my name is Vanessa Valencia. I hold a Masters of Arts in Teaching in Early Childhood Education and Montessori. Guiding children is one of my passions. Children are joyous little beings with so many gifts to share. Over the past 15 years I have worked with a variety of children with different learning styles and abilities. I believe in the importance of developing a love of learning and providing the tools for children to find their gifts. I enjoy guiding the children towards their success along with providing a nurturing atmosphere where children can learn and grow to cultivate mindfulness, effective communication, learn to care for Mother Nature and become a positive force in their life and a positive contribution to our society.

“The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field, in which seeds may be sown to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore, is not merely to make the child understand and memorize facts but to touch his imagination and to interest the child to his innermost core. We do not want complacent pupils, but eager ones: we seek to sow life in the child rather than theories, to help the child grow mentally, socially, emotionally and physically.”

— Maria Montessori
