Liliane Rocha

I am Lilly, a 29-year-old teacher, born and raised in Bela Vista – São Vicente, and also a proud mother of a wonderful daughter.

I hold a degree in education and have valuable experience as a teacher, having prior to this, worked in a paediatric practice.

With my calm, nurturing, and positive demeanor, I have become an invaluable presence for the children in our center and the wider community.

In addition to providing daily support to the children, I maintain close contact with their parents, ensuring their involvement in our activities.

I strongly believe in the importance of fostering a collaborative relationship with parents to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive. By actively engaging parents, we can collectively contribute to the well-being and growth of the children we serve.
