Meet Maria

The Heart Behind Mama Moon Daycare

Hello! I’m Maria, and I’m delighted to welcome you to Mama Moon Daycare. Born in Spain in April 1981, my journey with children began at a young age when I started babysitting for my cousins and little neighbors at just 10 years old. This early start ignited a lifelong passion for nurturing and educating young minds.

A Global Journey in Childcare

My adventure in childcare took flight in Australia, where I worked as a support teacher in Sydney for a year. This transformative experience deeply influenced my career, shaping my approach to education and care. In 2007, I took a significant step by opening my first daycare, where I have grown as a teacher over 12 years. My journey also led me to serve as a director in an international school daycare between 2012 and 2014.

I pursued my academic studies in Preschool Education and Special Needs in Spain and further expanded my knowledge by completing my Early Childhood Education (ECE) studies at Douglas College in Canada in 2022. Each step of my educational journey has enriched my understanding and approach to nurturing young children.

A Proud Mom and a Supportive Family

As a proud mom of four incredible children, I have learned the true meaning of patience, love, and joy. My children have been a source of inspiration and have driven me to continually improve and innovate in my field. Their curiosity and energy bring so much light to my life, and their support means everything to me.

My husband, Daniel, is my steadfast partner and an invaluable support in both life and work. He is also an Early Childhood Educator certified in Spain, and together we worked in our daycare in Spain for nearly a decade. Our shared commitment to early childhood education has been a cornerstone of our professional and personal lives.

A Family Full of Love and Fun

At home, our family is accustomed to having children around. We cherish every moment spent with them and revel in their curious questions and infectious laughter. We also share our home with a little rescued dog from Spain and a playful kitten born in Canada, who add even more joy to our lives.
