Luz Maria Gonzalez

Operating Owner

Hola!! My name is Luz Maria, but it's easier to call me Maria. I was born in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I have 5 siblings, two sisters and three brothers. Since I can remember, I wanted to be a teacher. When I was 19, I started to work as a preschool teacher at Cumbres Institute, where I had the opportunity to teach children ages from 1 year old to 4th Grade. After 5 years of teaching, I became the English Preschool Coordinator. During this time, I also opened and oversaw an early learning center called Bambolino, which included programs for infants and toddlers. I love being able to help children grow, be happy and always believe in themselves.

Blanca Vaca Lopez

Pedagogical Coordinator

Hola! My name is Ms. Blanca! I was born and lived in Villa de Alvarez, Colima, one of Mexico's smallest cities. I have a degree in foreign language teaching from the University of Colima in Mexico. My love and passion for teaching began when I was a little girl. I'm convinced that as teachers, we could make our students grow in all aspects. I cherish being surrounded by children the most; being a guide for them empowers me to be a better teacher, while there is always something new to learn from them. Over years of experience, I've worked with every age group in early childhood education, from infants to pre-kindergarten, in a variety of roles.

The Reggio Emilia educational philosophy motivates me because it posits that learning has no end and constantly renews itself through unique encounters. This approach also focuses on connections, which I believe are a significant component of early learning. This is why my motivation every day is to engage students to explore and discover the world around them, as well as to tell them that each day brings new knowledge. My priorities are to maintain excelling in the field of early learning and to dedicate myself to each and every family being part of KLA Schools of Bellevue.
