Irene, Head teacher
My vocation and love for children has led me to study this career at the University of Navarra, which, together with my close relationship with the English language from a very young age, have made a perfect combination to enable me to contribute at Green tree Nursery.
My professional experience in schools and nursery schools in the USA, Sweden and London, and here in Spain for four years, have further strengthened my vocation for children and the English language, which allows me to be bilingual in both languages.
I love becoming a little girl once more playing with them and sharing moments of laughter and learning. I would not change this beautiful vocation that life has given me: being with children is undoubtedly the best way to spend my time. I´m fortunate to go to work everyday with a tremendous desire to see their happy little faces and enjoy our time together.
Jessica, Early years teacher
My career in early childhood education began in Salamanca as an Early Childhood Education Teacher with a deep interest in alternative teaching methods because of their respect for the child’s individuality, autonomy and innate ability to learn in a self-directed way. Throughout my experience, I have had the privilege of guiding children through their early stages of life, accompanying them in their emotional, social and cognitive growth within a carefully prepared environment, where they are allowed to explore and discover at their own pace.
In my 10 years of experience in England, I have worked with children of different backgrounds and abilities, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to develop to their full potential.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work has been and continues to be observing how children flourish when given the opportunity to follow their natural interests. As an educator, I strive to be an attentive observer, adjusting my interventions according to the specific needs of each child, and maintaining close communication with families to ensure comprehensive accompaniment. All of this makes my experience a valuable contribution to continue working with families at Green Tree.
Julia, Expert in Child Education
I have always been passionate about children, it may be because I come from a very large family. My memories are surrounded by babies; I loved taking care of them every way; besides, I was pretty good at it since I was little. Although I started studying and working in another sector, more specifically translation and interpreting, I had the great opportunity to live between the UK and South Africa for 7 years.
When I returned to Spain it was when a radical turn took place in my life: starting a family. My son changed the way I felt and totally changed my goal in life. It was because of him that I decided to change course and dedicated myself to what makes me so happy and fulfills me as a person and as a mother: a child educator.
Green Tree is a dream come true for me, because it is what I have always believed in: it is respectful parenting, it is children in freedom, it is play as the central axis of all development, it is open space, it is non-separation by ages, it is children experiencing by themselves, it is a direct relationship with family members and full communication with them…, it is, in short, what I would have wanted for my son.
Cristina, Director and Founder of Green Tree
Having lived in various European countries during my student years and professional life I have experienced firsthand the importance of languages for free movement. Above all, the number of doors that languages open. After graduation in Marketing and PR and in Economics I undertook an MBA in three different countries (France, England and Germany).
My professional life has led me to travel extensively, both in the fields of Marketing and later in Tourism. But it was the birth of my daughter in 2011 that changed everything, my instinct, my objectives and my focus. Determined to do the best I could, I started to read and study and take courses related to the early years, respectful parenting and active and communicative teaching methods, which are those I firmly believe in. From a combination of all these factors Green Tree was born.
My main role is to take care of the administrative, organizational and business side of Green Tree, thus enabling the teachers, who are the backbone of Green Tree, to focus on what matters most to them, the children.
