Hello, I am Silvia Collins from Quito, Ecuador. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother of two beautiful baby boys. Originally an industrial chemistry graduate, I discovered my true passion after working at several Montessori preschools and other childcare centers. Over the years, my love for working with young children has grown immensely! I hold a certification from the American Montessori Society and have accumulated 25 years of experience as a Preschool Teacher. In 2012, I made the decision to open my own small Montessori preschool, where I can share my language, culture, and the Montessori Philosophy with children. I would like to personally invite you to learn more about what Capullo Montessori has to offer.
Capullo (KAH-poo-yo) is the Spanish word for flower bud or cocoon.
Maria Montessori said:
"We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of child
Capullo (KAH-poo-yo) is the Spanish word for flower bud or cocoon.
Maria Montessori said:
"We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to live."
Capullo Montessori serves children ages 3 to 6 years old.
"I have a strong belief that children, when given the opportunity, can begin an early education that will continue to flourish and enhance their education throughout their lives."
