If only I lived in Colorado and my babies were still young!!! This sounds like the exact place I was looking for when my children were younger ~PLUS the bonus of Spanish immersion, as well!! Having Senora Hydle teach two of my children at a Waldorf school in California, I know this will be an amazing experience for children and parents! Her gentle, kind heart and healthy loving ways combined with her experience as a Waldorf teacher is a full package! I personally endorse her and this program. I know anyone who joins Palamax will wish their child stayed young forever-just to stay with Senora Hydle!

Gabriela and I worked together for many years at a Waldorf School. She’s not just a wonderful co worker but she’s an amazing teacher. Gabriela’s main priority was the children but she was always so helpful to the parents and staff as well. Everyone loved Ms. Gaby and her passion for teaching and learning.

Gabriela is warm, kind, and wonderful with the children. My sensitive daughter loves her!
~Faith Collins – Joyful Toddlers
Gabriela Hydle is a wonderfully warm, loving and caring woman who has devoted her life to working and caring for young children. Children naturally are drawn to her calming and sweet nature. She is able to create firm but loving boundaries that children respond to.
Both my son and daughter were fortunate enough to experience Ms. Hydle both as a teacher, caregiver and friend. She was especially helpful to me in a time of need and it was a source of comfort knowing that my children were more than safe in her care.
It is with pleasure that I give my highest recommendation to Ms. Hydle, anyone would be lucky to have her in their life.

I had the pleasure of working with Gabriela Hydle as a teaching colleague at Highland Hall Waldorf School in Northridge, CA, where I was a class teacher and was able to observe Gabriela as the Spanish teacher for my class. Over the three years we worked together, my students and I were enveloped by her warmth, caring, generosity, and selflessness. She was an excellent teacher who cared for all her students as if they were her own children. She was always prepared, on time, and clear with her expectations. What always struck me most about Gabriela, though, is her loving nature–she connects with each and every person and makes them feel seen, truly cared for, and loved. I highly recommend her as a teacher, you couldn’t ask for a better person to help you and your child/children grow and learn–and you will become better human beings by knowing her and following her shining example.

It’s magical—play based, outside for the majority of the day, learning Spanish, eating homemade food, and being a child and learning without realizing he’s learning. He’s come out of his shell and is flourishing. I can’t say enough about how awesome this is.

If you are looking for a unique and enriching experience for your preschool age child, look no further than Palamax Play School. Gabriela Hydle is a loving and thoughtful leader and takes great care to create fun play-based activities (much of which takes place outdoors) for the children. She speaks to the children almost exclusively in Spanish, which has been a wonderful experience for our young son and his growing mind.
