Shared Services SHERO - December , 2025

Congratulations, Liliana Manrique, Boston, MA 

Meet Liliana Manrique —

My name is Liliana Manrique. For 23 years, I have had the privilege of educating and caring for children in my own home in East Boston, Massachusetts. Throughout all these years, I have been able to provide valuable learning experiences for every child who has been part of my program, as well as develop meaningful connections with different families and cultures in this community through unforgettable experiences filled with challenges and joy.

I am grateful to Child Development and Education Inc. since the beginning, they have been essential to the successful operation of my daycare, offering opportunities, trainings, and workshops that have helped me grow in the field of child development and children’s learning.

A very important part of my professional journey has also been Shared Services MA, which has played a vital role in the growth and strengthening of my business. In 2021, I took the Business Training courses with Shared Services, and later I participated in the Mentor Training Program with Belmari and Jader. These experiences greatly expanded my knowledge and confidence as a business owner and educator, helping me improve the quality of my program and better support the families I serve.

Over the years, I have continued my education through institutions such as Urban College, and I have placed my program at Level 2. I have had the privilege of holding the CDA credential for many years, and I am currently completing my mentor training with the support of the EEC department. My goal is to support other colleagues by offering help and collaboration as they start their own businesses, sharing from my experience and learning as an educator.

Having received the love and warmth of every child who has been in my program fills me with personal satisfaction. I have even had the joy of watching many of them graduate, children who were once part of my program during their early years. Seeing that they continue building values and pursuing education in their lives is incredibly gratifying. It is truly rewarding to serve so many families in the East Boston community every day, knowing that my work contributes to the education and well-being of many families.

I thank God, my husband, and my family, who have been a team that has allowed me to make this work a success for 23 years, and we continue doing it with great love for every family, in a safe and welcoming home environment.
