At Cypresswood Montessori, we are proud to introduce Brenda Reyes, our dedicated lead teacher for the First Steps Montessori Classroom. With over three years of experience at CMS and a background in medical administration, Brenda brings a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and creativity to our youngest learners.

Brenda embodies the best qualities of a Montessori guide for toddlers, aged 12 months to 2 years. Her approach to teaching is rooted in patience, care, and a deep understanding of each child’s developmental journey. As a Montessori guide, Brenda focuses on creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where toddlers can explore their world with confidence. She is adept at observing each child’s individual needs and interests, tailoring activities that promote independence, curiosity, and a love for learning.

​

Brenda’s creativity shines through in the way she designs engaging and developmentally appropriate activities that capture the imagination of toddlers. Her gentle and supportive demeanor helps build trust with each child, making them feel valued and secure in their learning environment.

 

Brenda’s Teaching Philosophy:

“I love teaching and believe in being patient, caring, and creative. My goal is to help each child become more independent and curious. Watching toddlers grow and discover new things is truly rewarding for me. I focus on each child’s unique needs, creating a safe and loving space where they can explore and learn.”

​

Brenda’s philosophy aligns perfectly with the Montessori principles, as she prioritizes respect for each child’s individual pace of development and fosters an environment where toddlers can thrive both emotionally and intellectually.

 

Beyond the Classroom:

When she’s not in the classroom, Brenda enjoys expressing her creativity through crafting and trying out new recipes for her family. She values quality time with her loved ones and brings this sense of warmth and connection into her teaching practice.

Brenda is excited to be a part of your child’s journey and is committed to supporting their amazing growth every step of the way. With her experience, dedication, and passion for early childhood education, Brenda Reyes is a treasured member of the Cypresswood Montessori community.
