Meet Raquel Diaz

Raquel Diaz is the Child Care Director of the Meriden YMCA Early Learning Center and Hanover Little Hounds Preschool.

"I have been with the Y for six years and I love working here. I have a degree in early childhood and have been in this field for twenty-two years. 

What I enjoy most about the Y is the diversity, being able to have a good rapport with the parents, the community and the culture.

For my Spanish speaking parents who do not speak English, I love working with them to make them feel comfortable and make this center feel like home for them."
