Lead Teacher
Carol Lozano
My passion for working with children began as a teenager through babysitting and continued as I gained experience in preschool and daycare settings. I've also been a caretaker, which helped strengthen my patience, compassion and understanding of each child's unique needs. As a mom, my passion for early childhood education has grown even deeper. Watching my son overcome challenges and reach each milestone has shown me the importance of providing children with love, encouragement, and support. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child feels valued, supported, and excited to learn. I look forward to getting to know your family and being part of your child's journey!

Dianna Vega
I'm a proud mom to two amazing girls who inspire me every day. I have experience caring for children from newborns to preteen. I started in the infant room and now work with children 1-2 years old where I love encouraging their curiosity, celebrating their milestones, and helping them build confidence as they explore the world around them. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and love to travel!
