The Land of Silliness
Teacher
Carolina
I love to teach - teaching is my passion. I love seeing my kids grow, learn, and discover new things every day. I enjoy seeing my students’ faces light up whenever they learn or experience something new.
My competences and skills come from the combination of solid university studies on early childhood education and 15 years of experience as a teacher of different schools around the World.
I teach and guide children to develop the different skills they need at the age of five. I focus not only on nurturing their cognitive skills but also on building their emotional skills, helping them to express their feelings, develop empathy, and, most importantly, build a sense of belonging that makes them feel that our Little Star International School is their second home.
I believe that what makes me unique as a teacher is the passion and love I put into everything I do. I see each of my students as an individual with their own strengths, needs, and dreams. I think it is very important is that teaching is not just a job to me - it’s part of who I am. I love
to teach my little - big kids
Ecuador
Teacher
Marta
I believe in the transformative power of early education, which promotes children&'s emotional growth alongside learning. With a solid background in psychology and various experiences working with children, I have developed skills such as active listening, empathy, and problem-solving, always open to learning from the children themselves. I support children in their cognitive, emotional, and social development by collaborating with teachers and families to create a safe and stimulating environment. My uniqueness lies in combining a clinical background with an educational passion, viewing each child as a whole person capable of thinking, discovering, and loving learning. My goal is to help them become confident, compassionate individuals who are ready to contribute to a better future.

Cook
Sandra
Through food, I am able to tell stories and take care of people. Cooking is my way of expressing love and creativity.
Since I was little, my grandmother has instilled in me a love for cooking and taught me the first secrets of the stove.
I prepare healthy, nutritious meals for children, with a strong focus on hygiene and quality.
Because I put my heart into everything I do. In the kitchen, I don’t just prepare dishes; I try to convey emotions, memories, and care for the people who eat my food. Every plate speaks a little about me and my story

First and foremost, the teacher must strive to be worthy of the trust, love and attention of the child. For us, a teacher is above all a good human being, someone who respects human rights when interacting not only with the children but also with the adults involved. A person who tries to be a good example of who they truly are, because children feel that spirit.
Thanks to their values, at Little Star, everyone, all educators and members of staff, are simply themselves. We are unique. A Little Star teacher recognises her ethical values and knows how to communicate them.
This is the secret of a wonderfully winning teacher. To be! Because the truth makes our eyes shine! Because truth is simple and direct, just like a child.
We try to preserve this treasure, working with kindness and discretion. We like to see critical, active and constructive people around us.
Those who enter our world are taken on an adventure of practical science that is never theory-based and boring. Teachers and children alike!
