Ms. Silva is proud to call MSPCS her home. Ms. Silva has been teaching for 16 years. Teaching kindergarten isn’t just her job, It’s her passion. She loves making teaching fun, hands-on, and full of discovery. Also she encourages children to think independently, ask questions, and find solutions on their own. She believes every child is capable of amazing things. That’s why she focuses on helping them become confident problem solvers-not just academics but in life. Through play, collaboration, and guidance she helps her students learn how to make choices, take responsibility, and celebrate their own growth. Her classroom is a place where children feel safe, loved, and free to be themselves. She supports each child’s unique journey and to partner with families every step of the way.

Outside the classroom, Ms. Silva enjoys running, sunsets, photography, the beach and spending time with her family and dog.

She also believes that true growth comes from a balance of emotional and academic development, and nothing brings her more joy than witnessing her students thrive in both areas.
