Adriana Antonio-Lopez has been named 2025 Infant and Toddler Educator of the Year by the Florida Association for the Education of Young Children, one of the top honors in the state for early childhood education. It is a noteworthy milestone for a local educator whose journey began as a young mom in Guadalupe Center’s parenting program.
Today, she leads the Butterfly toddler classroom in Immokalee, where her own daughters are enrolled — a full-circle story of how early education transforms lives across generations.
This honor recognizes local educators and how programs such as those at Guadalupe Center are growing talent from within the community, according to information provided.
