Hi, I’m Mary Blanco! I’m a mom of two kids, and I truly enjoy working with all of the classrooms—I love getting to know each age group and seeing how unique every child is.

In my free time, I actually love cleaning and fixing things around the house (it’s my way to relax!). I also enjoy spending quality time with my kids, whether that’s cooking together or going on little adventures.

In the classroom, I love helping out wherever I’m needed and making sure the kids feel supported and cared for.
