Meet The Leadership

She became a director of a childcare center in 2012 and in 2020 followed her dream to open up Paper Planes. Maria also does birth work, as a certified doula and birth educator. She is passionate about all things birth & beyond.

The mission and vision for Paper Planes was always about warmth and safety. Maria believes parents deserve to drop their babies off at a place they absolutely love. Responsive caregiving is the heart of all that we do. Children deserve caregivers and teachers who prioritize the well-being of their little hearts and minds. At Paper Planes, we put a huge emphasis on social-emotional literacy. We want parents, children and staff to feel warm and welcome every single day. It is vital to a child’s well-being that they feel safe and to feel safe, you must feel loved. Lean on us while you go back to work or simply integrate your child into a social setting because that’s important to you.
