Our founder
With a long line of educators on my mother’s side, teaching has always been in my roots. I became a certified Florida educator for Birth through Grade 6 and began my career as an elementary school teacher. After becoming a first-time mom, I recognized the need for high-quality, low-ratio early childhood education in our community. That’s how Little Dreamers Preschool was born.
I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Florida, studying Early Childhood Education Policy. I’m incredibly proud to be part of a program that empowers future leaders in the field. I’m also a CDA Professional Development Specialist and hold a National Administrator Credential through the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation.
My passion lies in creating enriching environments, supporting teacher well-being, and elevating early education for children, families, and educators. I can’t wait to personally welcome your family to the LDP community.
