Andrea Centeno

Spanish educational support guide

My name is Andrea Centeno. I am 30 years old and originally from Venezuela. I am a proud mother of two beautiful daughters, ages 6 and 12. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which I earned in 2016 from Dr. Rafael Belloso Chacín University (URBE) in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Working with children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I began teaching at the age of 17 and have completed numerous courses in early childhood education to deepen my knowledge and skills. I truly believe in the importance of nurturing children during their formative years and find great joy in supporting their growth.

I have been living in the United States for the past nine years. When I first arrived, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to continue my career in education, so I started my own event planning business, specializing in children’s parties. It allowed me to continue bringing happiness to children in a different, yet meaningful way.

For the past nine months, I have been living in Arizona and working at a Montessori school. This experience has strengthened my admiration for the Montessori philosophy and its emphasis on independence, respect, and child-led learning. I am truly happy to be part of your school community now. I love that it is a large, welcoming, and family-oriented environment. Being part of this amazing team is something I genuinely looked forward to.
