Hello! My name is Karen. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines.
Having taught in the Philippines and Japan for many years, I have had the opportunity of working in Waldorf, Bank Street, EYFS, and IB PYP settings. These experiences have shaped my belief that children learn best through play, meaningful relationships, inquiry, and hands-on experiences.
I love creating a joyful and welcoming classroom where children feel safe to explore, wonder, create, and grow. My goal is to nurture curious, confident, and kind learners while making every day a fun and meaningful adventure. I look forward to partnering with families to celebrate each child’s unique strengths and learning journey.
