“The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’”

Squirrel spanish assistant guide
Hi! I’m Alina Cantrell. I was born and raised in the east central region of Mexico. My passion for understanding how children grow and learn led me to study psichology. I moved to the United Stated just two years ago, driven by my goal to learning English and continuing to grow both personally and professionally. And I look forward to start my social work degree path starting next year. As a Montessori asistent teacher, I love being part of an environment where children are encouraged to become independent and discover their full potential through hands-on learning. Seeing their confidence grow as they explore and learn on their own is what inspires me every day. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending quality time with my husband-whether we’re playing pickleball or relaxing with a good movie.
