Our Team
At Little Learners, we believe great care starts with great people. Our dedicated team is the heart of our center—bringing warmth, passion, and professionalism to every child’s day.
Founder & Owner
Hannah Hernandez
With a degree in Early Childhood Education and years of experience in teaching and childcare, Hannah founded Little Learners to provide the kind of nurturing, high-quality care she values as both an educator and a mother. At home, Hannah enjoys homestead life, baking fresh bread and cookies, and spending time with her four children. She believes the best childhoods are filled with sunshine, hands-on learning, and the kind of simple moments that leave lasting memories.
