The People Behind the Nest

Meet the Team

Discovery Nest is family-built and educator-led — two generations of women who believe childhood deserves to be treasured.

Gloria Vargas

I have dedicated more than 20 years of my life to educate myself through schools, conferences, workshops, and books about Early Childhood. I have learned a lot; however, the real education has come from working directly with children, educators, and families. Through these experiences, I have learned that families around the world all have one thing in common: they value their child’s education.

As a professional, I worked as a Director for many years in a large company and discovered the art of creating a strong team. As a result, I am very confident that Discovery Nest will have a strong team that shares the same vision! In my spare time I like to meditate to increase my well-being and my quality of life, and I love learning about other cultures.

My goal is to help my community by working alongside family members to ensure that our Nest is full of love, learning opportunities, exploration, empathy, generosity, respect, manners, and connections. Welcome to our Nest, Discovery Nest.

Scarlet Shah

As an Early Childhood Educator (since 2010) and Personal Fitness Trainer (since 2015), Scarlet has found a way to combine her passion for promoting health and creating meaningful experiences for children through Discovery Nest Early Learning Center.

Childhood is one of life’s most precious chapters. It only happens once, so let us enjoy it, not rush it. Let us find ways to support children’s ideas rather than dismiss them. Let us support children’s natural ability to live in the moment. Let us set children up for success, in all chapters of life.

When Scarlet is not at Discovery Nest, she can be found reading books, hiking, or drinking a nice cup of chai.
