Mi Yia's Schoolhouse, Middlesex

Hi I am Mi Yia! (Maya) I'm a retired mother of two and grandmother of one. I have prior work experience as both an NYC Emergency Service Employee (EMT) and Family Counselor. Due to my becoming a single parent unexpectedly and working many years in these fields, I've become very attentive to the needs of a person, as well as patient and understanding of one’s feelings. Because of my life as a single parent, I understand the need for good childcare in a safe environment. So, now that I am retired, I decided to open Mi Yia's Schoolhouse and share my love of science, reading, the arts and my enthusiasm to educate with the most imaginative and creative people on our planet…children!
