Hello! My name is Ms. Lisa and I have the privilege of being a part of University Academy since 2017 as the director and principal. I feel blessed to work with dedicated and wonderful teachers. I started my childcare career at the age of 19. I found myself nurturing, caring, guiding, teaching, and loving children. I have since obtained my associate and bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and my master’s in Leadership. I am also a Broward School Certified teacher who has taught Pre-K through 8th grade. I have an amazing spouse with two beautiful and smart girls who are my pride and joy. I am proud to be the director and principal of this facility.
Hi! My name is Breana, I'm a high school student who is currently talking honor, AP, medical, and dual enrollment classes to graduate early and become a certified LPN. I want to continue the journey to be an obstetrician. Since children are a passion of mine, I'm volunteering at UA for service hours and plan to work here before going to college.
Hello! My name is Ms. Mercy and I have almost a decade in the field of childcare. My love and dedication for teaching comes from my family. I one day aspire to open my own preschool. I love to see children evolve and become intelligent and independent individuals.
I am excited to begin my next chapter of my teaching career at University. I have been a teacher for 4 years. As a child growing up, I knew at a young age that teaching was my passion. I value the importance of early literacy and, therefore, I always wanted to teach and impact young lives. I strive to make a difference by teaching tomorrow's leaders and am fortunate to make a difference in the lives of young children.
As a hard-working mother of two Ms. Marie is our Assistant director here at University Academy.
Bonjour! My name is Ms. Marie and I love working with children! After caring for my sisters at a young age and becoming a mother of two, I’ve decided to pursue a career in the education field. I’ve obtained my CDA to be able to help kids expand their imagination and explore through activities. I’ve been in this field for eight years and I would never trade my career for anything in the world because working with children is my passion!
As an Administrative Assistant with a CDA and director credentials here at University Academy, I am dedicated to providing the best education and staff for your little ones to progress. With a passion for not only the well-being, but education for young ones, I have decided to pursue a career in early childhood development. My vision is to provide the staffs with the tools necessary to promote great quality education.
I am married and I have one amazing son. From a young age I felt a great passion to help children. When I was between the age of twelve and thirteen, I would take care of a group of children in my community. I thought them to read and write, I also taught the children how to play creative games that made them happy. I took care of seven nephews and taught them to read and write. My home was surrounded by children.
I was also a hair stylist for a few years, but I did not get the same satisfaction, so I went back to what I really loved which was to work with children. Working with children is what makes me happy. I love working with children it is my passion.
