Rocio Leiva
Lead Mentor
Rocio Leiva
I am a mother, daughter and small business owner. I enjoy music, sunshine and exercise. My passion is working with children, and it is what I’ve done for most of my life. I take pride in my leadership and I’m always willing to assist.
I was born and raised in Miami Florida. I have a beautiful family, with two grown daughters. I have been in the early child care field since I can remember. I am the owner director of ABF Learning Center. We are a learning facility for children new born to four year olds, and after-schoolers that have been in business since 2007. We are licensed for 286 children, and have been NAEYC accredited for the past five years. Our school just expanded this year, now offering Kindergarten, first and second grade through the Step up program.
Some of our partners that help subsidize our program are the ELC of Miami-Dade County, The Children’s Trust, Child Care Aware, Step Up, and The Child Care Food Program. I attended Miami Dade Community College completing the Early Childhood Education Certificate. I am currently the lead mentor with the business and leadership institute, which I graduated from five years ago. I am a true advocate of children and I have a passion for what I do.
I’m looking forward to working with each of you, and I’m here to assist in any way possible.
Wishing you well,
