Meet Our Staff!

Partner

We started The Glen Academy because our group saw a need for a quality preschool care facility in the community. At each step of the development process of The Glen Academy, we imagined creating a school our own children would be happy to attend. We look forward to being a good neighbor, for many years to come!

Director

Hello! My name is Elaine Mayor and I am the Director here, at The Glen Academy. I have over 20 years of teaching experience and have worked in VPK and Administration for over ten years. Before coming to The Glen Academy, I recieved my degree in Early Childhood Education from Broward Community College, and earned the rest of my degree online with UAF.

I was honored to receive the position of Director at The Glen Academy, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

My hobbies include traveling, camping, cooking, and spending time with my family.

Administrative Assistant

I work here because it’s important to me that the youth today are steered in the right direction and here at The Glen Academy we make sure that’s the case. Every morning I’m met with the smiles of these bright young children, and it shows me that our work is paying off.

Administrative Assistant | Social Media Manager

I am an advertising student at the University of Florida. I came home looking for a job to practice what I’ve learned in school, and landed on The Glen Academy because I could see what a great establishment it is. I wanted others to see that, too. My time here has only confirmed what I initially saw in The Glen Academy, proving just how well the children here are cared for and how much of a community is built here. I share this through social media so that more parents can find great care for their kids at The Glen Academy.

Infant Teacher

I am in childcare because I love what I do. I love children of all ages. They make my day and are a joy to be around. They say the darnest things, but being able to watch them grow, that really amazes me. I got my DCF 45 hours back in 2015, and have worked as an infant teacher for the past eight years. I also have certifications as a Med Tech and a Home Health Aid.

Younger Twos’ Teacher

Hi, my name is Ms. Ashley! I have been in childcare for 15 years now, and have worked with children of all ages. Being a preschool teacher is one of the most rewarding things I have done in my professional experience. If I can have a positive impact on a child’s future, I feel I’m doing my job well.

I have 4 children of my own, and they are the best things that have ever happened to me. I have learned so much from them. In my free time, I enjoy reading and arts and crafts.

VPK Assistant | After School Teacher

I work in childcare because my mother, Ms. Elaine, has been in childcare my whole life, so I grew up around the childcare field. All of my service hours in highschool were done at a daycare, and I’ve worked in the industry multiple times throughout my life.

Chef

My name is D’Nina, most call me Nina. I am the chef here at The Glen Academy, and here is a little bit about me. I come from a large family that I’m always looking out for. I have two years of kitchen experience already, and, although I haven’t been at The Glen long, I can say I already love it here.

Infant Teacher

I work in childcare because I love children, especially babies. I can communicate with them very well and taking care of my babies makes me feel closer to God!

Older Twos’ Teacher

I have always wanted to be a teacher, but school wasn’t for me, so I was unsure how I was going to make my dream happen. Then, the owner of a daycare my children attended told me she admired how well mannered my kids were and asked me to work for her. After that, I got my DCF 45 hours, and I have been teaching ever since. Twenty years later, I’m still in childcare and I love every minute of it.

Assistant in Training

Hi, I’m Ms. Sonia! I am from the Dominican Republic and I also lived in Spain for three years. I have been in the United States since 2000.

I am a single mother of a three year old girl, and I love to take care of children as if they were my own. I am currently an teaching assistant in training at The Glen Academy and I am very grateful to have the opportunity to teach here.

Preschool Teacher

I have always had a love and care for small children. I work to make sure that each child receives the correct teaching according to his or her learning pattern. As a child, I had dyslexia, so understanding my teacher was hard for me. Some teachers teach all kids the same, but not all children learn the same way. Realizing this led me to take a strong interest in childcare.

Curriculum Guide

My name is Ms. Tonya, and this is my sixth year teaching young learners and my thirtieth year as an educator. I have found that early childhood education is my passion! I am really excited about teaching at Glen Academy. I am so privileged to join a group of educated professionals dedicated to providing the best care and education for your child. I know here at Glen Academy each member of staff is a caring and dedicated person devoted to your child’s growth and development. As early child care professionals, each member of the Glen Academy staff provides an opportunity for every child a foundation that will give them the tools and skills to be the best they can be in whatever they endeavor to achieve.
