About Gladys
Experience: 13 yrs
A New Mission: Supporting Families. I have opted to open a small, cozy home for just four children, focusing specifically on Infants (starting at 6 weeks old). With my diploma in "Parenting and Childhood Education Respectful" (A Waldorf Approach), I provide children with the time and space to develop socially, emotionally, and physically in a harmonious environment. I believe early childhood is a gift; by prioritizing play, imitation, and self-exploration, we build a foundation for lifelong well-being before formal education begins. I intertwine the Artistic and physical activity with the aim of safeguarding the conditions so that the child's learning remains instinctive and rewarding, thus ensuring that knowledge and skills are acquired with enthusiasm and joy, creating a love for learning that lasts throughout life.
Most recent review
Gladys is the absolute most loving caretaker. Melodies and Colors is an in-home, bilingual daycare, where the kids get amazing 1-on-1 engagement, daily outside time (even in the cold- Gladys makes sure to have you bring winter clothes for cold days and bathing suits for summer), and are never left in a bouncer and forgotten. She feeds quality, whole foods, encourages both mental and physical exploration, and is a calm and patient presence through it all. When we had the option to enroll our daughter in the daycare with her older brother (he aged out of Melodies and Colors), we declined so we could keep her with Gladys as long as possible.
