“Babies are born with wings. Teachers help them unwind them”
- Janusz Korczak

Being a mum opened my eyes to what matters most in life. My son, who completed TEQUSTA Mokotów, inspired me to change my career path and devote myself to working with children. I completed postgraduate studies in the fields of: special pedagogy, sensory integration therapy and preschool and early school pedagogy. At our establishment in Białołęka, we implement our academic know-how in the field of SI therapy.

Working with children gives me some tremendous satisfaction. Every day, I see children get to know new things, learn new experiences and build on their skills. Children are most important in our establishment and with this thing in mind we build our community.

My personal experience has shown me how important in working with children is the right approach, know-how and experienced staff. Every child is a small man or woman and deserves respect for his or her feelings and own opinion. In my life, I am guided by the saying that there are no naughty children. Children can be hungry, tired, thirsty, cold or overstimulated. My first trip to Tequesta was in 2008. It’s a really very quiet town in Florida (USA), characterized by virtually zero crime rate. My role is to ensure that our kids may enjoy the climate of this place every day.

RUBY MATUSZEWSKI-English Native Teacher

My name is Ruby and I am from the Philippines. I love teaching kids in kindergarten. I love my family and my children, in particular. In my free time, I love reading books, going to the beach and all sorts of trips.
I graduated in the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in management. In 2022 I also completed English Studies in Warsaw.
I have been a teacher in TEQUESTA since 2014 — first in the establishment in Mokotów, now in Białołęka.
My passion for teaching children was born the moment my first child was born. Watching my son grow, I finally asked myself — why not develop my passion for teaching children?

Recently, I spent a lot of time planning new fascinating ways to play and learn together. Dear children, I look forward to spending time together with you and watching you grow!

“A good educator, who does not push but triggers, does not pull but brings up, does not press but shapes, does not dictate but teaches, does not demand but asks — will come to live many inspired moments with children.”

- Janusz Korczak

I completed master’s course in Pedagogy at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. I connect with children easily. I am characterized by caring attitude and thoughtfulness. I am an empathetic person, willing to help and well-organized.
I engage in working with children, with co-workers and in dealing with parents. Whatever the situation, I accept every child for who they are. Working with children gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction, and being a good educator is a challenge for me, because every child is different and requires an individual approach.
Smiles, hugs and nice words heard from children are the best reward and inspiration for my work.

I am a fifth-year psychology student at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. Working with children in a preschool is not only a challenge but also a great pleasure and a source of valuable experiences. Thanks to my knowledge of psychology and empathy, I approach each child individually, adapting my methods to their unique needs and abilities. I envision my future in psychotherapy, so every interaction with children teaches me how to better understand their emotions and behaviors. Working in a preschool allows me to support children in their development, which is extremely satisfying and inspiring for me. I strive to ensure that every child feels safe and accepted, and develops their talents and skills in an atmosphere of understanding and support. I believe that building strong, trusting relationships with children is key to their emotional and social development.

During my studies, I have gained knowledge in various fields of psychology, but I am most fascinated by working with children.

For the past three years, I have had the opportunity to participate in internships and placements where I have worked with children facing various developmental and emotional difficulties.
