Mi Escuelita Maya Preschool Teachers

Maestra Maria

Our Licensee, Owner, and Program Director is Maria Trenda. Maestra Maria is a college-educated businesswoman originally from Mexico. Maestra Maria’s passion for early childhood education started from watching her mother teach young children at their family owned Kindergarten named “AMALIMOGAJC” in Mexico. Her family ran their school for 27 years! Maria was one of the Assistant Teachers for several years until she moved to California. Once re-located to this area she became a nanny and eventually a Spanish translator, an elementary school instructor, and a multicultural educator. Maestra Maria taught Spanish for several years at “Blue Oak Charter School”, our local Waldorf approach school. In addition Maestra Maria is a Performing Arts teacher and has been a dancer for most of her life acquiring her skills from trained professionals both in Mexico and U.S.A. She has taught world dance styles and general performing arts to students of different age groups. During her classes she embraces a multicultural approach to the dance and artistry components of our school; in addition she uses the application of Spanish enrichment while teaching. Maestra Maria is one of our Lead Teachers as well as one of the Performing Arts instructors.

Maestra Maria is professionally participating as a member of the Butte County Local Child Care Planning Council (Butte County Office of Education) and at the Butte College Child Development Advisory Committee because of her love and passion for early childhood education. She is an advocate of equal opportunities for high standards of preschool education to all the children of our diverse community.
