Maria's Experience

"I’ve spent several years involved here at WILDE School, becoming a familiar face in both seasonal and year-round programs.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to support kids in a way that balances fun, structure, and inclusion, while helping them feel safe and valued.

Working closely with students and staff has strengthened my skills and inspired me to continue building my path in education, encouraging growth and confidence in every child I work with."
