Meet the Founders
We are two passionate moms who believe in the power of education. Our journey started with a deep desire to offer our children the very best—an environment where they feel safe, free, and inspired to learn at their own pace, always surrounded by love.
Wehive is the realization of that dream and a response to a vital need: a space where kids can simply be kids. A place where they can make mistakes, grow, laugh, and feel safe discovering who they truly are.
For us, Wehive is more than just a school; it is a conscious community built on values like empathy, creativity, and collaboration. Here, every child is special, and every family is an essential part of our hive.
“Schools should be places where the child is seen from all aspects and not only the academic aspect is attended to, but a well rounded approach towards education is provided.”
Erika Sherwell
Head of School
I have dedicated my professional life to education, working as a preschool and primary school teacher and also in the administrative and managerial part. From the beginning of my career, different and innovative methodologies caught my attention.
During all the years I spent inside the classroom with the children, I realized that for the kids to learn, we needed to create a safe space for them, where they felt seen and encouraged by me, but also by their classmates and that's what we will provide at Wehive. Later, I became a mom and everything I knew about education and parenting was very useful, but what I never saw coming was the feeling of empathy, humility and compassion that would be generated inside me directed to all the parents who do the most important job in the world, and this changed the way I teach and work with the families.
Maga Barrera
Creative and Operational Director
For many years, my life revolved around creativity but when I entered the corporate world, I put it aside to adapt to a new pace of life. When I became a mom, that spark was lit again and I discovered my purpose: to build a better world for my children. As they grew up, I understood how important it is to have a space where they can be children, explore, learn and enjoy their childhood.
Today, with this project, I know that our responsibility as adults goes beyond teaching. It's about leading by example and creating an environment where learning flows naturally and children are true to themselves.
Wehive is my commitment to creating a conscious community. I deeply believe that by providing children with a safe and loving space where they can develop, we are sowing the seeds of a more future.
“We want to prepare our students for careers and challenges that do not yet exist. In our classrooms, children learn in a practical and fun way, experimenting with everyday situations and exploring the world around them.”
