KLA Schools of Doral faculty come from diverse backgrounds and experiences and all benefit from extensive professional development opportunities. One thing we all have in common? A passion for inspiring curiosity and a lifelong love of learning in the children of our community.
My name is Rosa Maria Orellana, and I’m happy to introduce myself as the Atelierista at KLA Doral. Born and raised in Lima, Peru, I earned a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and moved to Miami with my husband in 2007. We’ve built a beautiful family with our two children. I’m passionate about education and was inspired by my visit to Reggio Emilia in 2019. I’m excited to share a joyful year in the Atelier with your children!
Laura Ureta is from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and has been with KLA Doral since 2015. She has a Florida Child Care Professional Credential and a certificate as an RBT Registered Behavior Technician. Her expertise in the Reggio Emilia philosophy allowed her to visit the City of Reggio Emilia, Italy in November 2019 to explore, learn, and experience its origins.
Gloria Jimenez has been in the early childhood field since 1988 and joined the KLA family in 2012. She attended Miami-Dade College and has an FCCPC accreditation. Her enthusiasm for teaching and implementing the Reggio Emilia philosophy drives her to make meaningful connections with her children and families.
My name is Angela Armijo. I earned a degree in Early Childhood Education and Intervention with a minor in Psychology from Walsh University in Ohio. This is my fourth year at KLA, where I continue deepening my knowledge of the Reggio Emilia approach. I’ve studied in Rome and worked with students in Uruguay. I love spending time with my son, husband, and dog. I'm passionate about guiding children and celebrating their uniqueness!
Children blossom and grow when they experience positive, caring relationships with their teachers. Our teachers make a difference in the lives of children each day.
