Marta & Anna's story
We were born and raised in Venezuela by a Czech father and a Panamanian mother. We grew up immersed in a multicultural environment and witnessed how good education and solid emotional maturity help people throughout their lives. As teenagers and later in college, we both used to work with kids, Marta in summer camps and as a substitute teacher for preschoolers, and Anna as a babysitter.
Years later, with our own families, we migrated from Venezuela. Marta moved to the USA, where she started working in a preschool and later got her certification as Director and worked as such for many years. Anna moved to Malta, where she used to work with preschoolers and children with special needs. During that time living apart, we talked daily about our daily experiences with kids and slowly started dreaming about working together in our own preschool. From dreaming, we passed to planning a preschool with all the elements necessary to support and stimulate children's development.
About a year ago, Anna and her family moved to Colorado to materialize that dream with Marta.
