What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I also have ADHD and I was never being diagnosed. I was like, now everything makes sense. Why I struggled so much when I was little. It's very hard for people that have ADHD to like focus. We need to understand. We had to come up with tools that help children learn differently.
Flor Bria is an educator, entrepreneur, and the founder of Lucas Rainbow Bilingual Preschool. She helps children thrive through inclusive early education while empowering families, educators, and women to build brighter futures through compassion, learning, and leadership.
I created my own curriculum, a blended curriculum, because I understood that children need different options of learning.
Anybody out there that has a business that's just getting started, what's one piece of advice that you would have for them?
Preparation, to me, is the most important thing if you want to be successful in something. You have to know.
How did Flor Bria’s early childcare experience lead her to education?
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis, ready. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago with the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet.
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast. I'm your host, Jason Tyler. And today I am joined by Flor Bria. How are you?
I'm very good. Thank you. Thank you for the mind. It's a pleasure to be here.
Welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you. So you are going to be filming your episode today. We're kind of just going into it, just getting started. First of all, how are you feeling so far about the process?
I'm very excited. It's like Wonderland in here. I love it.
It's Willy Wonka. It's very, you know, Fantasy Factory-esque.
Yes, love it.
What is Lucas Rainbow and how many centers does it operate in Virginia?
So talk to me, Flor, a little bit about just how you got started. I know you and I spoke a little bit off camera. You're in education. How did that journey get started for you?
Wow, I started super young. I was like 18 years old when I decided. Actually, I started when I was 15, babysitting all my cousins and everybody's kids. I just love kids, you know. And at 18 years, I jumped into the world of daycare centers. And that's when everything started. I just love being around children and being around the kids. That's just been my passion since I was born. This is all I want.
So at 18, you got kind of your foot in the door with the daycare centers. Talk to me a little bit about how your business is currently running.
Yes. Right now, we have four centers right now in Virginia, located in Virginia. And we're just rocking and rolling, you know, because I created my own curriculum, like a blended curriculum, because I understood that children need different options of learning.
We talked a little bit about this off camera, but, you know,
Why did Flor develop a blended Montessori and traditional curriculum?
I feel like autism and, you know, learning disabilities or even, you know, being neurodivergent, that's kind of something that society is like really focused on right now with our youth. You know, kids are being exposed to a ton more information than they ever have been in human history. What's sort of your take on that?
Yes, that's one of the things that make our program so unique because we're not only teaching neurotypical children, but we're also implementing in our lesson plan things to help them also for the neurodiversity children as well. So that's one of the things that parents love and they trust because they see the progress. It's time for everybody to start including the children with different type of needs.
And so for those kids with different needs, how important is that sort of developmental stage? Because, you know, in my family, I have a ton of educators in the family. And the developmental stage, especially for neurodivergent kids, is super, super important. How important is that?
Yeah, it's extremely important because it has to be a connection between schools, parents, and the system. So if we're not all together, things cannot work. Children cannot progress.
