Pamela Montano

With a heart full of compassion and a passion for early childhood development, Pamlea started her journey as an infant/ toddler teacher in 2020 during the pandemic at Little Sprouts.  After nearly a year and a half, she had the opportunity of also working at a home based child care program, where she worked with many different age children, ranging from 6 week old infants to 5 year old children. Having worked in both a larger center and a small school, she has built four years of experience in the field of early childhood education. Pamela is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology at UMass Boston, which helps her combine a scientific understanding of growth and development with a heartfelt dedication to creating a supportive and enriching environment for infants. Pamela is from El Salvador and she is bilingual and fluent in Spanish.  She has lived in Boston for over 24 years and arrived when she was nine months old.  Pamela loves to share her culture and learn about others as well.

Pamela’s teaching philosophy centers on fostering a safe and engaging space, where infants can explore, learn, and thrive. She likes to say that she is adept at designing activities that stimulate sensory and motor development while supporting each child’s social and emotional growth. Her interest in biology provides her with a unique perspective, allowing her to incorporate elements of science and discovery into everyday learning experiences.

Pamela’s dedication to her role as an infant teacher shows in the smiles of the children she teaches and the strong partnerships she builds with parents. She is thrilled to be a part of the Children’s Center at Boston University, where every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth.

Outside the classroom, Pamela enjoys spending time with her family, exploring nature, and crafting creative projects. She also likes to learn and watch videos about astrology.  Her commitment to lifelong learning is evident in how she enjoys researching new things she has recently learned about.  She feels that you never know when this new information can come in handy!
