Experience

Hello and welcome. I’m Ms. Rodriguez-Amores, an Early Childhood Educator who has spent more than twenty years helping children discover the joy of learning. My work across different early childhood environments has taught me that curiosity, creativity, and connection are at the heart of every meaningful learning experience. I have had the blessing of serving young children and educators in a variety of early learning settings. I have taught early childhood in both preschool and primary grade classrooms, supported teachers through curriculum planning and reflective practice, and conducted classroom observations that strengthen quality and connection in teaching. Earlier in my career I served as a preschool director and an environmental education director, where I helped children explore science and nature through curiosity and play. I also taught outdoor education in the redwood forests of Northern California, an experience that deepened my belief in the power of hands-on learning and the natural world as a classroom. Later, as an atelierista in a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool, I discovered how art, collaboration, and creativity can bring children’s ideas to life. The resources I design reflect all of these experiences. They are child-centered, bilingual, and inspired by the joy of discovery. My hope is to help teachers create meaningful learning environments where curiosity, confidence, and imagination can grow.

Teaching style

My teaching style is shaped by the ideas of Lev Vygotsky, Howard Gardner, and Richard Feynman. I see learning as a social and creative process that grows through language, exploration, and shared experiences. From Vygotsky, I value the importance of connection and collaboration. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory reminds me that every child learns in unique ways, through language, movement, art, music, and problem solving. Feynman’s philosophy encourages me to make learning joyful and to help children find clarity and wonder in even the most complex ideas. I am also guided by the belief that the environment is the third teacher and work to create child-centered spaces that promote autonomy, curiosity, and discovery. I design bilingual learning experiences that build early literacy, strengthen vocabulary, and nurture confident communication. I believe that when children are encouraged to explore, question, and explain their ideas, they develop both academic skills and a lasting love for learning.

Additional biographical information

Hello, my name is Ms. Rodriguez-Amores. I am a teacher creator based in sunny Miami, Florida, where I was born and raised. As a proud first-generation Cuban American, I love to embrace and celebrate my Hispanic heritage, which continues to shape the inclusive, bilingual resources I create. Since 2017, I have been part of the Teachers Pay Teachers community, sharing materials that were first designed for my own students and for fellow teachers who wanted resources that truly meet classroom needs. Over the years, this work has grown into much more than creating lessons. It has become a way to live out my calling to serve early childhood education by supporting both children and the educators who guide them. My greatest joy comes from using creativity and experience to design tools that make learning meaningful, joyful, and accessible for all. I believe that every child deserves the chance to learn through curiosity and connection, and that every teacher deserves resources that make that possible.
