Meet our Director

Ms. Liza Collazo

"The best teacher in the world is somebody who loves what he or she does and loves it in front of you”.

With over 13 years of experience in early childhood education, I began my career at Ladybird as an Assistant Director in 2022. I currently hold an active CDA and the National Administrative Director’s Credential. My journey in early childhood education began as an assistant teacher, later advancing to a lead VPK teacher, where I was recognized and awarded multiple times for achieving the highest evaluation scores.

A very important phase for me was when I worked with children with special needs. It was a truly beautiful and enriching experience. Working with children with special needs has deepened my understanding of why I chose this career. It has reinforced my passion for early childhood education and my commitment to ensuring every child, regardless of their abilities, can learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive environment.

I am deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive and grow. I believe in fostering a love for learning through hands-on experiences and providing opportunities for exploration and discovery. As a Director, my goal is to ensure that our program upholds the highest standards of quality and provides a solid educational foundation for our children. I am dedicated to supporting and empowering our teachers to reach their fullest potential, as they are the heart of our program.

I am passionate about positively impacting the lives of children and families in our community. Building strong partnerships with parents and caregivers is crucial in supporting the holistic development of every child. I am excited to continue my journey in early childhood education, inspiring and empowering the next generation of young learners. It is a true privilege to shape and influence the future through the work I do every day.
