Hi! I’m Cindy Irizarry, the heart behind Lili and Friends, a bilingual in-home preschool located right here in Cane Bay Plantation. As a proud Spanish-speaking educator, military wife, and mama myself, I created this little school with lots of love. A place where children can feel safe, seen, and ready to grow.
With a background in early childhood education and years of experience, I’ve built Lili and Friends as a nurturing and structured learning space that feels just like home. What makes us unique? We keep our group small, with just six students at a time. Because I believe in quality over quantity. This allows me to give each child the attention they deserve and build strong bonds with every family.
✨ Why a small group?
- 
Children feel more comfortable and confident.
 
- 
Less exposure to germs and illnesses.
 
- 
More focused learning and meaningful connections.
 
- 
A calm and cozy environment that promotes growth.
 
I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I love integrating bilingual learning throughout the day. We work on Kindergarten readiness, including sight words, vowel sounds, phonics, early writing, and so much more. All while having fun with hands-on learning, music, play, and creative exploration.
This is more than a preschool, it’s a family. And I can’t wait to welcome yours into ours. 💛
With love,
 
Ms. Cindy
