Director

Lisa Williams

With over 40 years of Childcare experience in public and private schools In Maryland and North Carolina, earning an MS in Early Childhood Education & BS in Educational Administration, Lisa loves being able to be a positive and impactful part of a child’s life. Her morals and values guide her to strive to be her best, as a role model for everyone in her presence. With several “Teacher of the Year” plaques and certificates, Lisa went on to become a Director who trains her staff to become the greatest educators and role models they can possibly be. Spending the majority of her life in childcare brings her the greatest joy of life.

“I love being able to let them (children/students) know that they have the power to be and do anything while appreciating them (children/students) for who they are and making it (learning) a lot of fun!”

Children, parents, and teachers respect Lisa’s optimistic, youthful spirit. She takes it everywhere she goes. Traveling the world for work and pleasure is a privilege she still enjoys. Whether near or far, Lisa never stops educating those around her, especially children. Even with her many talents—singer, artist, and event planner, among many others—being an educator is her life’s passion.
