Her journey in education began with a profound belief that every child deserves to experience the joy of learning in an environment that respects their natural development.

 

Sol holds her Associate's degree in Child Care from Urban College of Boston and has dedicated her career to creating authentic learning environments where children thrive. Her extensive professional development includes specialized training in child-directed play and learning, Massachusetts early learning guidelines, and quality rating improvement systems. She is certified in CPR/AED and pediatric first aid, and has completed comprehensive training in nutrition, food safety, and creating healthy learning environments.

 

Her bilingual expertise allows her to serve diverse families, having completed numerous professional development courses in both English and Spanish. Sol's approach combines evidence-based early childhood practices with a warm, nurturing style that helps each child feel valued and supported. Her commitment to continuous learning is evident through her participation in conferences, quality improvement systems training, and ongoing professional development.

 

Creating Something Truly Unique

 

Under Sol's leadership, Little Explorers Montessori stands apart as the only completely plastic-free school in the area. Every educational material, toy, and piece of furniture is crafted from natural wood and organic materials, creating richer sensory experiences while connecting children directly with nature. This intentional environmental choice supports children's health and well-being while teaching environmental respect from the earliest ages.

 

Sol's commitment to holistic child development extends to nutrition, with the school serving exclusively certified organic food sourced from local Massachusetts farms. This farm-to-table approach provides superior nutrition while educating children about food sources, seasonal cycles, and sustainable agriculture practices.

 

Drawing from her extensive bilingual training and cultural background, Sol has created an authentic English-Spanish immersion program that naturally integrates both languages throughout the day. This approach not only develops complete literacy in both languages but celebrates diverse cultures while preparing children as global citizens.
