Before Spanish With Ms. Cindy...there was Your Little Dove

Before launching my educational practice, I founded Your Little Dove, a beloved childhood boutique specializing in heirloom quality toys, clothing, and books. My work at YLD was dedicated to sourcing handcrafted Montessori and Waldorf toys and materials from artisans all over the world. Each and every piece brought into the boutique was intentionally chosen for its educational and developmental value, non-toxic and hand-crafted origin, and cultural authenticity. My commitment to sustainable, multicultural, and ethically produced materials continues to live on in my curriculum, Learning Spanish from the Outside In™, where I continue to use these same tools to create meaningful, sensory-rich learning experiences rooted in respect for the child - and the world.
