❤️ Meet Our Provider ❤️
Meet our Lead Childcare Provider and founder of Small Talk Family Childcare: Yulena Corrica (AKA Ms. Lena / Nana). Ms. Lena lives for teaching little ones. Since she was a child, if you asked her what she wanted to do with her life, her answer was always, “Become a teacher.” Nothing brings more joy to her soul than laying out the perfect lesson plan and watching the glimmer in her students’ eyes as she uses each one to unlock their inner genius. Ms. Lena’s teaching career began with the K-3 class of 2008 at Shores Christian Academy (She still gets pictures and updates from the families of nearly every student she taught back then!) and has not diverted ever since. After Shores‘ unfortunate shut down, she got her CDA certification, and moved on to Childhood Development Services in Ocala, Florida. Then after the birth of her first grandchild, Corey, she moved to Maryland to be closer to him, and decided it was time to go into the business for herself. Ms. Lena got to work learning all the ins and outs of this business, spending every minute she had researching how to open and operate the best learning center in the state. And this is the result of all those years of sweat, tears, and dedicated preparation: Small Talk Family Childcare, Where the Path To Success Begins.
