Amanda Cardoso

Position: Kitchen & Classroom Assistant

Education: Background in Architecture

Languages: English, Portuguese.

Hello everyone, My name is Amanda, and I’m thrilled to work at Ficino Preschool as a Kitchen and Classroom Assistant. I’m originally from Brazil and have a background in architecture, but my real passion has always been working with children. I believe that young children flourish in environments where they feel safe, supported, and inspired. Whether I’m helping in the classroom or preparing meals in the kitchen, I love contributing to a space where children can learn, grow, and enjoy their day.

It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of their journey and to support the teaching team in creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’m so happy to be part of this lovely community and look forward to getting to know all the children, families, and staff.
