About Me
My name is Meire Martins, and I have dedicated the past 25 years of my life to caring for and educating children with dedication, professionalism, and love. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families in the Marin region, offering not only quality care but also guidance and support in every stage of child development.
In 2013, I founded First Steps Daycare, a space created with love to provide children with a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Since then, I have continuously expanded my knowledge in early childhood education, nutrition, and child development, ensuring that every child builds a strong foundation to grow healthy, confident, and happy.
I believe that the first steps in a child’s life are essential, and I am committed to providing personalized care that respects each child’s individuality — always in close partnership with their families.
