Hi! My name is Elena, I am a School Psychologist I have worked in the elementary and preschool setting. After finishing grad school I began working in Early Intervention providing ABA therapy and special instruction to babies up to age 3. I have a passion for working with infants and toddlers my professional experience has afforded me the skills to help children grow, develop, and learn.

Elena is great! My daughter, who doesn't have much experience with other families had a great time with her and her daughters- she was sad to leave and asked when she can see them again. 10/10
