Luz
Infants
My name is Luz, and I have been working in early childhood education for over 12 years. I am a mom to 5 beautiful children- one girl (14) and 4 boys (12,8,4,2)! Caring for children has always been my passion, but working with infants holds a special place in my heart. I love watching them reach new milestones, building trusting relationships with them and their families, and creating a safe, loving environment where they can grow and thrive. I am a patient, dependable, and nurturing teacher who enjoys helping each child feel loved, valued, and supported every day. My goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of the children I care for while providing families with peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring hands.

My name is Ms. Victoria, and I have been blessed to work at Risen Savior for the past three years. This place has always held a special meaning for me; I even attended preschool here when I was little. Now, getting to teach in the same environment that helped shape me is something I cherish deeply. I am currently studying Special Education and Early Childhood Education, and my passion for teaching grows stronger every day. I love watching children learn, grow, and discover new things, especially through play‑based learning, where curiosity leads the way. Risen Savior is not just my workplace; it’s my community. I attend church here each Sunday, and I’m grateful to be part of a place that nurtures both faith and learning. Teaching young children is truly my calling, and I feel honored to support each child as they explore the world around them.
