Maya Lopez-Bowlin
She/her/hers
Associate Teacher - Owls
Hello, my name is Maya Lopez. I was born in New Hampshire to Guatemalan parents, lived all my life in the Upper Valley, so I consider myself Guatemalan-American. I grew up in Lebanon, I speak Spanish with my family, and always enjoy learning about new cultures, including my own. I studied Mathematics and Spanish at Saint Michael’s College.
I started working at DCCCC in January of 2018. I got the privilege to start as a float and roamed from room to room learning everyone’s routines and teaching styles, which was more than useful when I applied to be an Associate Teacher in the Otter Room a year later. Through RVCC I gained certification and received the formal introduction to what is involved in Early Childhood Education. During the last couple years, I have learned how to work with preschoolers in the Black Bear Room and am currently with the toddlers in the Owl Room. Nothing has humbled me more than seeing this amazing world through the eyes of these children. I am constantly learning with them as I see everything from new and different points of view.
In 2021 we were blessed to be able to buy a home in Windsor, VT, where I live with my husband and brother. My favorite days are filled with jokes, laughter, board games, and family. My busy days are filled with learning how to be a homeowner, from learning to care for a yard, to painting rooms, to hosting small get-togethers with family.
I love learning how to cook, how to decorate, learning how to entertain each age group, and especially how to remember to just have fun!
