Lenika Flores
YMCA Quality Support Manager
A mom of three young boys. I am a child development educator passionate about teaching the whole child. With 21 years of experience working in the early childhood field as a teacher, director, and an administrator. I feel a commitment to share my stories, anecdotes, experiences, and challenges that this journey has gifted me. I am a Quality Support Manager and my goal is to support child development educators. I enjoy sharing best practices of early childhood education and relevant information that can improve the life of others. I feel my experiences can positively impact my colleagues in their professional life. I am a mentor teacher and my goal is to support child development students and model best practices of early childhood education. I am experienced in the Reggio Emilia approach, Montessori, and Waldorf Education method. I strongly believe children are capable of learning in an inviting and inspiring environment where they can play, explore, create, imagine, and learn. Educating is my passion and it's reflected in my work. I enjoy propagating plants, working out, dancing, singing, nature walks, and engaging in conversations with people.
