"Every child has a different style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding." - Robert John Meehan.
Welcome to Kindergarten
I am so thrilled to be your child's teacher for the upcoming school year! I can’t wait to get to know your child and share what’s all in store for the coming year.
But, before that I would love to introduce myself. I am Mrs. Maya N. Hotwanni. I was born in India and moved to Sint Maarten 24 years ago. I have a Masters Degree from India. This is my 21st year teaching at Learning Unlimited Preparatory School. I started as an assistant teacher at the age of
17 (India). This year, I turned 49.
I do believe that every child has a different style of learning and pace. I will try my best to meet them where they are and help them reach their goal and potential.
In Kindergarten, learning occurs in the most fascinating and fun manner. Kindergarten is a very exciting and special experience for the students, as they acquire the necessary skills that will prepare them for the following years.
I am looking forward for a very successful year.
