Hello, my name is Madeline Santelises, and I am a co-owner at Cub Academy. I have been in the child care business for 6 years. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and migrated to Orlando Florida in 2004. I have been married to Jose Santelises for 10 years and together we have a furry baby called Alli Roxy.
My educational background is in Civil Engineering with a Master’s Degree in Engineering Management. My experience and education have helped me manage the business side of our Preschool. After being laid off in 2008, I took a break to think of what was going to be my next chapter. After a lot of applications, interviews and prayers looking for an engineering job, I decided that instead of building roads and bridges, I was going to help build children. In 2012 Cub Academy opened! After 6 years in business, I have learned to manage and run a successful daycare business.
I have built a high-quality program where children can learn while having fun in a safe and healthy environment. We introduced STEAM to our curriculum and our VPK Enrichment Program is using Nemours Brightstart, making sure our children are ready to enter Kindergarten.
As well, I have had the opportunity to mentor other child care businesses in the Orlando area, giving me the opportunity to teach and share my experiences with others in my same field while I grow with them.
I believe every kid deserves to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow in. We strive every day to provide a lasting education in each child that comes through our center. I am excited to be part of each child’s life as they develop physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Hello, my name is Yaritza Marrero. I’m a mom of two amazing children. I was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Central Florida back in 1996. Worked as a Pharmacy Technician for 13 years. After graduating from college in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Arts of Education, I started my career in the child care industry.
It's been eight wonderful years working as a Director, six of them at Cub Academy.
I am beyond blessed with the opportunity to be part of so many children’s lives and am honored to share my passion for education with them all!

It is required by the Department of Children and Families that all staff employed by Cub Academy have three background screening: local, state and FBI.
Our discipline of children provides a positive guidance, redirection, and the setting of limits. When children receive positive, non-violent and understanding interactions from adults and peers they develop good self-concepts problems solving abilities and self-discipline. Based on this belief, we do not allow any form of corporal punishment, verbal abuse or any discipline that would involve withholding food, rest or toileting.

At this time, we are not confident in the security of this type of monitoring. We believe very strongly in the confidentiality and privacy of our children and families. We, do however, encourage parents to view their children within the classroom at any time. We have monitoring systems around the daycare and parents are welcome to come in and observe their child.
The safety of the children in our care is our first priority!
