Daylis Sierra
Toddler Teacher
I’m a proud mom of two and originally from Colombia, a country whose warmth, joy, and strong sense of family are a big part of who I am. I’m a loving, patient, and cheerful person who truly enjoys being around children and making them feel special. As a Toddler Teacher, I love creating a fun and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to explore and learn. Being part of their little milestones, watching their personalities grow, and filling their days with smiles is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Mitzy Ortiz
PreK Teacher
I have always had a special place in my heart for children. Growing up with a brother with autism taught me the true meaning of patience, empathy, and celebrating the unique qualities that make every child special. I am passionate about creating a loving, safe, and positive environment where children feel understood, supported, and free to be themselves. Being a teacher gives me the opportunity to make a difference in their lives while helping them learn, grow, and discover the world with confidence and joy.

As the middle child of four, caring for and helping others has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. Growing up in the middle taught me patience, how to adapt, and how to connect with all kinds of different personalities. I’ve always been a true kid person and my experiences have taught me how rewarding it is to help little ones feel loved, safe ,secure, and happy. With genuine love for children, I strive to create a safe, fun, and trusting environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
