About Amarilis

With over 30 years of experience caring for children and 25 years in teaching, I possess a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. As the founder and director of The Bridgeport CT Center of The Arts, I turned my after-school program into a thriving micro school, creating a supportive environment for children. I hold certifications as a State Certified Head Teacher, Doula, and Registered Behavior Therapist, and I'm First Aid/CPR certified. I am kind, patient, and dependable, with a deep understanding of child development. My approach blends creativity and structure, ensuring each child feels valued and supported. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where children can learn, grow, and express themselves. Through academic support, recreational activities, and emotional guidance, I strive to be a positive influence in every child's life. I look forward to connecting with families who appreciate dedication and a personalized approach to childcare!
