About
To educate is to accompany the development of a human being
A practice built from observation, experience and a clear intention: understanding the child to accompany them better.
I deeply believe that every child is born with an immense desire to discover the world. They don't need someone to awaken their curiosity; they need adults capable of protecting it, understanding it, and accompanying it.
That conviction has guided my entire professional path.
NANCY VÁZQUEZ
I hold a degree in Education Sciences, am a Montessori guide trained across the three planes of development (0-3, 3-6 and 6-12), and a Practitioner in Positive Psychopedagogy.
For more than eight years, I have accompanied children and families between Mexico and France, both within Montessori schools and in personalized educational processes.
I have had the privilege of serving as a lead guide in Montessori environments for Children's House (3-6 years) and Elementary (6-12 years), accompanying stages that are profoundly different and, at the same time, wonderfully complementary: from the first steps toward independence to the construction of abstract thought, scientific reasoning, and an understanding of each child's place within the universe.
My experience has also led me to support educational projects from another perspective. In Mexico, I worked as a pedagogical consultant for a Montessori school, supporting the implementation and alignment of the method across its three 6-9 environments to build greater coherence among the teams and a more harmonious educational experience for the children.
Alongside this, I have supported homeschooling families as their lead tutor, designing fully personalized accompaniments that allowed children to meet — and even exceed — American academic standards, without ever losing respect for their individual pace, interests, and needs.
All of these experiences led me to ask a question that transformed my practice: why do some children, despite having extraordinary abilities, stop trusting themselves when they learn?
That question is what led me to specialize in Positive Psychopedagogy. This discipline brings together contributions from neuroscience, positive psychology, pedagogy, and cognitive science to understand not only what a child learns, but how they learn.
Because learning doesn't depend on intelligence alone. It also depends on confidence, emotions, the ability to concentrate, imagine, memorize, understand, organize one's thinking, and persevere through difficulty.
