Mariana joined our staff in 2005. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and a Masters in Education. She has taught for many years, including home schooling her four children. Her background and experience play a part in the wonderful way she guides both parents and children in the Meadow. She treasures time spent in the Meadow playing with toddlers and sharing with their moms and dads. In 2016, Mariana helped to create one of our newer programs, After School in the Meadow. In the fall of 2018 she will become our Parent-Child Tea Story-Teller.
