Our Team
FABIANE NETO
Founder, CEO and Lead Teacher
My name is Fabi Neto, I was born and raised in Brazil.
In 2001 I got married and moved to the US, where I still live. Newly arrived, I took an English course at ACC, 4 years later, I returned to ACC to improve my Spanish, where I took a 2-year course.
​
I always had a dream of being able to work with children, in 2013, I had the opportunity to start a job in a Spanish Immersion School as a teacher's assistant, I was sure I was on the right path, so I decided to get my teaching certificate.
​
In 2014, I finished my CDA and started working as a teacher, I have been teaching early childhood education for 8 years, I have to confess that I have been learning with my students every day, children are for me, a form of energy that motivates you to learn and moving forward, each child has a different way of seeing the world. In actual fact, I believe that working with kids is a blessed position. I spend hours each day in their simple, uncomplicated world. I experience things at their level and through their eyes and I am honored with the job of inspiring and guiding the next generation.
​
I met Ms. Blanca in 2013, we started a friendship focused on respect and cooperation, and with that came a dream of building our own daycare, we planned a place where children could learn by playing surrounded by safety and lots of love.
​
To start this dream, in 2017 I completed my director's course.
​
In 2021, we opened our dream daycare, IDEAS.

I have 13 years of experience working with children, I always say that if I had to choose another profession, it would definitely be to be a teacher again, I love what I do.
​
I have a true passion for working with our youngest learners!! Helping each child progress in all areas of their development is a challenge that I am honored to accept daily. I strive to create a community of learners that nurtures this growth in a positive, fun environment. In 2012 I started my first job in the US as a lead teacher, where I met Ms. Fabi, we worked together in other schools and our friendship started 8 years ago.
​
Our dream of having our daycare center started with the need to mix our very diverse cultures, we are from Latin countries, but with different customs and the possibility of giving each child a unique teaching experience, focused on multicultural education, safety, and love for our children.
​
In 2021 our IDEAS daycare was inaugurated, one more dream came true.
