The director of ABF Learning Center, Rocio Leiva, created ABF Learning Center in 2007 to educate the underserved population of Miami. Rocio’s goal was to provide the community with a quality learning center for the children of impoverished families. Now 12 years strong, the school has continued to grow, serving more children and more ages, and connects what the children learn in school to their life at home so that parents can also learn with their children. Rocio is truly a pillar to the community she serves through ABF.
Though they have been fortunate enough to receive grants and in-kind donations to get the school to its functioning level today, there are many underutilized areas of the school. Once these areas are activated, children attending ABF Learning Center will have the opportunity to learn more fundamental skills that will carry with them into adolescents and then into adulthood.

"ABF just had its twelfth-year birthday. We are an NAEYC accredited center. We’ve been part of quality counts since the very beginning. We service private, subsidized, and military families, and we won the Champions for Children Award with the Children’s Trust in 2017.
I am grateful and blessed for the opportunity to serve my community. I feel the love in return. Families return to say how well their children are doing in school, and to share their success stories.
There’s nothing better in life than doing what you love... I love what I do, and it shows!!!" Rocio Leiva, ABF Owner/Director
