My Name is Nina Colon, originally from Salinas, Puerto Rico moved to Florida in 2010. I have my 45 DCF Hours, CPR & First Aid and Currently Working on my Child Development Associate Credential and my plan is to continue my education in Early Childhood. My Early childhood career started in 2013 as a Floater and that same year was promoted to a Toddler Lead Teacher until 2022. The reason I am in Early Childhood is to be part of the children's milestones and growth that makes me feel proud of the work we do. My goal is to provide a safe, healthy, loving, and fun educational environment for the children to grow, as well as creating a community where everyone feels welcomed.
