Maria Crispi
Lead Teacher
Hi, my name is Ms. Maria! I was born in Equatorial Guinea (Africa) and spent my teenage years in Madrid, Paris, and Switzerland, immersed in multicultural environments. In 2023, I moved to Maine with my husband and two children. My first language is Spanish, and we speak French at home, which has deepened my appreciation for the power of language. I believe immersion fosters communication skills and cultural understanding, and I’m excited to share my passion for language to inspire confidence and curiosity in your children at Wild Roots.
