Hola, my name is Elizabeth (Ms. Liz). I am originally from Lima, Peru and my primary language is Spanish. I am a mother of two beautiful little girls.

 When I was a little girl my mother cared for children in our home. I never would have imagined that this little in-home childcare in Arlington would someday consume my world and be my lifelong passion. I have been providing the highest quality of care and learning experience for young children for more than ten years in our family child care program in East Arlington and Arlington heights. I graduated in 2017 from Urban College with with high honors A.A Early Childhood Education. In 2020 I then graduated from Eastern Nazarene with a BA in Early Childhood Education and I am currently pursuing my M.Ed. at Lesley University.

The idea for Elizabeth's Daycare and Preschool Center came from my own desire to ensure my children were exposed to Spanish at an early age in a fun and inviting way. As a working mother, I realize how difficult and important it is to find exceptional preschool for your little one. Growing up in Arlington  with Peruvian parents, I heard Spanish everywhere — at home, at school, and on the playground! In fact, I didn't realize that some Arlingtonian spoke Spanish. Arlington has become more diverse with many different cultures.

When it was time to put my own children into a preschool, I knew I wanted Spanish learning to be at the core. As a second generation household, we were all too aware that we needed additional support outside the home to ensure we remained a dual-language household. To my surprise, I found limited options available for families trying to incorporate Spanish into their children’s everyday lives. As I considered what I was looking for, I realized that I, too, was looking to find a broader community where Spanish was encouraged and celebrated regardless of skill level. It was during this search that I saw a need for quality Spanish options in early childhood education and beyond.  

My mother and I began our journey by developing a unique  Spanish Immersion preschool but not only for my children, but for the many families who sought the same exceptional quality care for their little ones.
