Meet Andreza Barriola

Andreza Barriola is the proud owner and director of Little Miracles Child Care, bringing 25 years of experience in caring for and educating young children. Her journey began at just 18 years old in Brazil, where her love for children quickly grew into a lifelong passion. She later opened and directed her own preschool, Centro Educacional Aconchego, creating a nurturing space for families for four years.

After moving to the United States over 20 years ago, Andreza continued her work in early childhood education. She spent eight years with Head Start, supporting children and families from many different backgrounds, which gave her a deep understanding of the importance of building strong, trusting relationships. She also worked as an Inclusion Specialist for four years, supporting children with autism, speech and language delays, and behavioral challenges. This experience fueled her passion for ensuring that every child feels included, understood, and successful.

To support her extensive experience, Andreza holds a bachelor's degree in Education, a Child Development Program Director Permit in California, and is a Certified Inclusion Facilitator. She continues to grow and stay current with best practices in her field. Her everyday approach is warm, nurturing, and structured, with a strong focus on love, respect, and learning through play. She believes that when children feel safe and happy, they can truly shine.

Originally from Brazil, Andreza speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. She loves connecting with families from diverse backgrounds and enjoys sharing her culture through music, food, and joyful activities. When she isn't working, she enjoys cooking and spending time outdoors, bringing that fresh creativity into her daycare every day. At Little Miracles Child Care, children are cared for like family—with patience, kindness, and heart.
