About Me & The Heart Behind AMAR for Kids
Hi! I’m Miss Marielys, a bilingual early childhood educator inspired by the Montessori method, a Childbirth Educator, and a Zumba Kids instructor. But above all, I’m a mom of three, and my greatest inspiration comes from them. Each of my children has shaped the way I view education, movement, and inclusion—especially my amazing child with autism, who has shown me the beauty of patience, understanding, and celebrating every child’s unique journey.
​
AMAR for Kids was born from my deep belief that everything we do should be done with love—just as the Bible teaches. AMAR isn’t just a name; it represents my faith and my conviction that children are treasures, full of potential, curiosity, and joy. Through movement, cultural exploration, and hands-on learning, I strive to create spaces where children feel safe, valued, and free to express themselves.
Why Zumba Kids?
With a background in early childhood education, movement-based learning, and cultural exploration, I’ve designed programs that go beyond just dance—each class is an opportunity for children to:
💖 Develop coordination, confidence, and social skills through music and movement.
💖Explore world cultures with “Rhythms Around the World,” where we dance to salsa, reggaeton, cumbia, merengue, and more.
💖 Learn through play with interactive activities that promote teamwork, creativity, and emotional well-being.
💖Stay active in a fun and engaging way, making fitness an exciting part of their routine.
