What people are saying



  • Ms. Peggy Cárdenas Ortega
    whom I have had the pleasure of knowing both professionally and personally since 1990, when we studied together for our Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at the prestigious Berta Von Glümer School in Mexico City.

    Throughout the past 36 years, I have had the opportunity to witness her professional growth and outstanding career. I can confidently attest to her unwavering commitment to educational excellence. Ms. Cárdenas Ortega is an exceptional education professional with extensive pedagogical expertise, strong leadership abilities, and outstanding administrative and management skills.

    I chose her as a schoolmate and as a friend until now because, for me, she represents a person who provides me with emotional stability, peace, trust, and is capable of making me feel loved and heard at all times. She has been an important pillar in my personal and professional life due to her ability to listen attentively and manage emotions in situations of risk or instability.

  • Miss Peggy, the coolest and most professional!
    I had the opportunity to work with Miss Peggy, who is super dedicated, loving, and above all, professional. She provided me with guidance in my teaching process, steering me towards quality to become the best educator I could be. 

    In my work experience, I undoubtedly applied every piece of knowledge I acquired from her, challenging myself to be the best teacher in education, leaving a mark on every generation of little ones that moved on to the next level. 

    Today, after several years of experience, I see my students growing and developing, and without a doubt, in each of my students, there is also a mark of Miss Peggy, because without her, I wouldn’t have achieved it. 

    Thank you, Miss, for all the support and every motivation you gave me to keep moving forward.

  • How is, how was, and how are…

    As a single mother, my mom worked tirelessly from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Monday through Friday, while spending her Saturdays teaching extra classes and mini-courses. She did this to ensure her students passed their government exams and to provide graduated teachers with essential tools to better understand how children learn.

    While she worked hard to support the two of us, her career was always fuelled by a deep passion; she genuinely loved working with children and understood their needs—not just didactically, but emotionally.

    Wanting to make a lasting impact, she went on to design specialized training programs for aspiring teachers, ensuring that future generations of children would have amazing educators.

    She loves her profession deeply, but beyond her career, she is a truly compassionate human being dedicated to helping anyone in need. It is this unique blend of warmth, dedication, and passion that has guided her to create this space.

    She is my Mom
