Due to high demand and a robust waitlist, we are not offering tours unless we are able to offer your family a spot in our program. We do send updates to our waitlist several times a month to keep you updated. Additionally, the childcare industry, in general, is struggling with hiring. We are currently putting enrollment on hold while we focus on staff retention and hiring. We appreciate your understanding.

Martha Sanjuan
Site Director - Martha was born in Oaxaca Mexico in a small village where she was raised with four sisters and a brother. In 2000, she moved to the US with her two year old son. She gave birth to a girl at the end of 2000 in Portland Oregon where she resided for several years. In 2007, she felt the need to learn English to support her two children with homework and all kinds of life encounters. Furthermore, she earned a certificate in Early Child Education in 2016 from Mount Hood Community College. Working at Escuela Viva since 2012, has given her enough years of experience to support children’s healthy growth and development. Her children have achieved their college degrees, which makes her very proud. Martha lives in Ridgefield WA, likes reading, writing, and enjoys nature exploration with family and friends.
Edith Shamrell
Teacher - My name is Edith Shamrell. I was born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, but studied and lived in France, before moving to the USA. I started my childhood education career 20 years ago while working as a Cultural and Art Counselor for French Public Schools. Since then I have worked in different language immersion preschools over the years.
