Who we are Quiénes Somos
Teachers Profesores
Caring and Passionate
BMS teachers are passionate about your child's happiness, growth and safety, and providing a nurturing environment that cultivates self-esteem. This is more than a job for our teachers. It’s an opportunity for them to share their passion for life while they inspire, engage, and awaken the wonder inside each and every child.
BMS low student-to-teacher ratios allow teachers to focus on the individual learning styles and needs of each child in our school.

Hola!
My name is Arely Quintana, I live in Los Alamos, NM since I was 11 years old, I am originally from Chihuahua, Mexico.
I have a 3 year old daughter her name is Mia, we love to go to the park.
Because of my daughter, I have experience working with kids and I love to be around them because they all have different types of personality and I learn something new about them everyday.
Gracias for allowing me to be part of your child's life and Bilingual Montessori School family.

Rebekah Fernández
Hello,
My name is Rebekah Fernandez. I was born and raised here in Los Alamos, NM. I went to elementary, middle and high school here. I moved briefly to Arizona for a couple years but decided New Mexico is where I want to be. I am married to my wonderful husband, Juan Fernandez. We got married on the beach in beautiful Puerto Rico, our favorite place to visit! We have one son named Jaxson who is 7 years old. I love kids and was lucky enough to stay home for the first 4 years of his life. As a family we enjoy cooking, going on vacations and spending time outside hiking and exploring. I also worked at Aspen elementary in the kindergarten classroom. I am now happy to be working here at BMS as the office manager. I get to interact with the kids and the teachers throughout the day. I am happy to help out where needed and help parents with any questions or concerns they may have.

Señora Odalys G. Fernández
Hola!
I was born in Santa Clara, Cuba. My parents left Cuba with my brother Efrén (now lives in Los Angeles) and I in 1968. I grew up in Ponce, Puerto Rico where I meet my husband, Juan Carlos Fernández. We got married in 1980 and lived in Berkeley, California, from 1980 to 1984, while he pursued his Ph.D. Los Alamos National Laboratory offered Juan a permanent position which he accepted, and we moved to Los Alamos in 1985.
Our first daughter Diana was born in 1982 in Berkeley and now lives in Mongolia. We had two more children at Los Alamos: Juan Manuel, a ex U.S Marine Vet. and Adriana, a pediatrician in Pensacola, Florida
I attended the University of Puerto Rico, USF, and San Francisco State.
I have been a Montessori teacher since 1986, and received my Early Childhood Montessori Certificate in 1992.
In 2008 I decided to open this school after seeing the need for a bilingual school in this community. I hope you find this web site helpful and decide to enroll your child in our school. I do have a warning: we give lots of hugs and kisses :) and we will become an extension of your family.
My favorite things:
music: romantic,
color: orange, green and purple
restaurant: Bistro 315 (Santa Fe)
stores: TJ MAXX, Target
I like coffee & candles

Teddy

Woof,
My name is Teddy, as in Theodore Roosevelt and not the silly children’s toy. I work here at Bilingual Montessori School as the designated smile giver. I am from the Inland Humane Society in California where I was a rescued before being transferred to Santa fe and then to Los Alamos. I am 2 years old and known to humans as the Maltese variety. In Los Alamos I studied the various intricacies of happiness and joy. I pursued an education and earned an advanced degree in smiles and cuddling.
Soon after leaving the school I applied to several internships with visitors of the Santa Fe Humane
Shelter. Soon after winning over every person that I came in contact with, it soon became apparent
that money and power are not enough. I chose instead to endeavor into a life of Philanthropy and
accepted a position at the Fernandez household. Changing the scope of my professional values has
allowed me to make a greater impact on society itself. I look forward to leveraging my skills as a
professional at Bilingual Montessori, for years to come. You are very welcome for the smile.
Regards,
Teddy

Jumbles

Hello, my name is Jumbles and I am Señora Fernandez's grand-dog. I occasionally visit Bilingual Montessori school when I come to visit grandma and grandpa. I am an only child. I am a Yorkie Bichon mix and we are bred to be hypoallergenic for you humans who are allergic to dogs.
I do not bite, but love to give kisses (besos) to children who like dog kisses. I brush my teeth every day - more than some of the children do! I can be a great teacher to children in helping them learn to be gentle with animals and to understand size and strength - I am much smaller and weaker than they are. My parents have let me start my own blog - if you'd like to read it - the link is below.
