Fernanda Almeida
Early Childhood Support
​
With over a decade of experience in early childhood development, I offer personalized guidance and support to parents, caregivers, and families. Through practical experience and continuous training, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of child development and effective caregiving practices. Inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Dr. Emmi Pikler my goal is to empower you to understand your child and navigate their early years in a positive way that leaves a lasting impact.
Let's collaborate to ensure the holistic growth and well-being of your precious little ones.
The Buckley
Family
Ms. Fernanda was Frankie’s teacher in 2021-22 school year. She was so kind and gentle to Frankie. She always had a calming demeanor around both her students and their parents. Ms. Fernanda created a safe and secure environment in her classroom. Frankie still remembers her and talks about her regularly even though he hasn’t seen her in over a year. Ms. Fernanda’s gentle spirit is what every child needs in their learning environment.
The Dowler
Family
Ms. Fernanda is a phenomenal teacher and person. She was my son Sabri’s Early Childhood teacher for the 2021-2022 school year. The special bond they forged was magical to observe. She knew exactly what he needed, and knew how to connect with him. She has the ability to see how each child is unique and how to use their uniqueness to their advantage. My son is not one to color or draw. He would rather build a car wash for his Hot Wheels or be challenged academically, but she was able to bring beauty and creativity to him through watercolors. He still likes to paint with watercolors and fondly remember Ms. Fernanda and the time they spent together. We wholeheartedly thank Ms. Fernanda for everything she has done for Sabri and every other child she has had in her classroom.
The Maher Family
Fernanda is gifted Early Childhood educator, captivated our hearts as she guided our daughter through three years at a local Waldorf school. With her inherent warmth and boundless patience, Fernanda exudes the essence of gentle parenting with impressive fluency, clearly influenced by the philosophies of Rudolph Steiner. Our relationship went beyond the classroom with our numerous coaching sessions, where Fernanda illuminated paths towards establishing a harmonious rhythm in our home. Offering invaluable suggestions for engaging activities to fill our summer days was another layer of her guidance. Fernanda isn't just a teacher, she's a mentor. Her tremendous impact on us is felt every day in our home, and for her, our gratitude runs deep. Thank you Fernanda!
