Teida Edwards
Teida has been working with children for over 20 years in Denver, CO. When her own kids were young she would teach Spanish classes at their elementary school as a public service. At that time their school had no Spanish language curriculum.
This is around the time that Teida started her first home daycare service based in Thornton, CO, where she specialized in Bilingual Education.
Teida followed one of her many passions in life, to help children learn Spanish and grow into adults that can navigate through an increasingly complex world.
Both of her children have graduated from college. Her son, received a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, he is currently working as a Software Engineer in Pitsburgh. Her daughter has two degrees. They are in Creative Writing, and Spanish and Portuguese Language and Culture. She is working towards her third degree in French Language at La Sorbonne Université de Paris.
Her daughter has lived a year in Chile, a year in Brazil, and over three years now in France. She is currently working as a professor of English at Citylangues and as an artist in Paris.
