TEAM
ELENA GONZÁLEZ Hello! My name is Elena and I am a Comunidad Infantil guide. I am part of this project since 2022 with great enthusiasm and surrounded by a team that breathes unity and motivation for what we do every day. I have been working in similar projects for eight years and what brings me to this is having the opportunity to accompany children from the respect and enjoy living life with their eyes, which makes us reflect on the importance of the small moments of everyday life.

ZARET ZAVALA
My name's Zaret and I'm one of the guides in Infant Community. The little grain I add to this environment has to do with language. I interact with the children in English throughout the morning. In this way they can get familiarized with sounds in English in a natural way. I started working here in 2021 and I've loved and enjoyed every moment learning from the little persons we have each year in the environment.

There is always something new that you learn from the little ones.
