My name is Tina, and I serve as the Director and Manager at Castle Country Academics. With over 15 years of experience working with young children, I am passionate about early childhood education. I am a mother of two and have one pet. Originally from Spain, I have spent my entire adult life in the United States. I am fluent in both Spanish and English. My interests include traveling, painting, home remodeling, gardening, cycling, and cooking. I hold a bilingual CDA, an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education, and a Bachelor’s degree from USI, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in early childhood at USI. I believe, as stated in the Poem report, that the best foundation for becoming a happy and productive individual is to fully embrace the experience of childhood.
