About Melanie

Hi families! I'm Ms. Melanie, a credentialed Lead Educator holding a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education from CSU East Bay and a Master of Science. Over the past several years, I've led early childhood classrooms across the Bay Area, specializing in child-led, multi-sensory learning, fine-motor development, and respectful social-emotional guidance. My approach is deeply rooted in Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies--focusing on unhurried, intentional, screen-free play that builds real independence, focus, and curiosity. Through my mobile studio, I bring custom STEM setups, bilingual (Spanish) play, and curated sensory stations directly to your home. Whether facilitating hands-on learning, supporting daily routines, or assisting families with nanny share matchmaking and advisory support, my goal is always to create a calm, nurturing environment where every child thrives. Feel free to explore my full portfolio of setups
