What is Hugloft?

Who is Laura?

I am Laura Ramos, agro-industrial engineer and founder of Hugloft. Inspired by my mother, who was an early childhood education teacher, I discovered my passion for caring for, teaching and accompanying children in their first years of life.
Since I began this journey, I have created an environment where each child receives individual attention, love, structure and many opportunities to learn through play. I love to design creative activities, read stories, sing songs, make crafts and be a part of every important step, accompanying them from the first words to lovingly preparing them for their first day of preschool.
My personal values, responsibility, commitment, dedication and sense of belonging are reflected every day in my work. What I enjoy most is seeing how children feel safe, happy and connected, and how families build a true community within Hugloft.
Here we don’t just care for children, we form bonds that accompany their growth.

How was Hugloft born?

Hugloft was born from a personal inspiration that came from my mother, an early childhood teacher who dedicated her life to guiding, accompanying and teaching children. Her vocation for childhood inspired me to follow in her footsteps and I decided to create a place where every child feels loved, safe and stimulated to learn every day. This is how Hugloft was born, here every day is a new smile, a big hug and a world to discover.
