My name is Danierys Hernandez. I have been a teacher for 22 years in Miami-Dade County. I have taught in the elementary and middle school levels. I am certified in the areas of special education, Math 6-10 grade, ESOL, Elementary education and I have my Montessori Certificate in Early Childhood. On November 2011, I opened up a Montessori Preschool in the Miami area. The Montessori Garden is located on Bird Road and 82 Avenue. The second student to register in my school was a special needs child. I used everything I learned and experienced in the special education classroom, together with the Montessori philosophy to help this child succeed. He had a desire to learn and communicate. As my school grew ,I realized how many schools do not accept children with special needs in their program. I let the parents know that sometimes the child just needs more services than I can offer, but we give it a try.
