Margarita Gutierrez joined Park West in 2024. She was born in New Jersey and raised in Mexico. Growing up she found herself always helping her mom and family with their children. It was from this early age she developed a love and interest for childcare. She recently graduated from High School and will soon be joining Bergen Community College in the Early Childhood Education program. Throughout her high school years, she has cultivated a deep interest in child development, art, music, and different cultural backgrounds. Margarita worked at her church, working with infants and toddlers from all different backgrounds. This experience enhanced her academic skills, gave her the tools to work with children, and instilled in her a strong work ethic and a commitment to excellence. She is very happy to be a member of the Park West Montessori community! Her confidence, enthusiasm, and dedication will make her an asset to this community.
