Our Mission

At FLIP Academy, children will have the freedom to express their uniqueness while fostering life learning skills. We offer a safe environment that is attentive, sensitive to their being, and exposes the child to the maximum of their ability. Thus forming an optimum learning interest, where they'll be able to further relate to the world in their next stage, and continue building to the next. We believe it is imperative that educators and children build a responsive relationship. As well as children bear witness to a relationship among parents and educators for the ultimate best learning development for tomorrow's future leaders.

Reyna Ramos

CEO & Administrator

"My passion for leadership and community building started early in life. During grade school, I naturally found myself leading groups of peers in sports and other activities during recess. Over the years, I noticed a decline in their interest in school activities, driven by self-judgment and fear. My innate passion led me to inspire others to enjoy life and fostering personal growth. At children's birthday parties, I played the role of game host, building connections among children who might not have bonded otherwise.

Fast forward 25 years, I've had the privilege of caring for a total of 75 children, whether as an aunt, private nanny, or daycare provider. This journey inspired the development of the FLIP Method. Today, I'm dedicated to sharing the FLIP method with families who aspire to create a brighter future for their children, our future leaders.

Outside of my professional life, when I'm not nurturing young minds you'll often find me on neighborhood walks, marveling at cloud patterns, trees, and bird species. I cherish being outdoor in nature. I regularly enjoying hiking, kayaking and swimming, as well as quiet moments with a good book. Most importantly, I treasure moments spent with my college-aged child and relish hosting family and friends, along with active participation in community events.
