Meet Our Owners

Vivian Lizotte

Hello, my name is Vivian Lizotte, and I am an owner and the director of Learn Play Grow Academy. I have been married for 32 years and have three daughters. I am also a grandma of two beautiful grandbabies. My love for teaching led me to the decision to purchase a school in July of 2020. Learn Play Grow Academy was started in a Clearwater neighborhood of Florida to meet the needs of the growing community around me. I understand the importance that early childhood education has on future success in school and in life. It has always been a goal of mine to educate children at my own preschool. I have fulfilled my goal, and I am looking forward to making a positive impact on the preschool-aged children enrolled in Learn Play Grow Academy.

Rachael Lizotte Menden

Hi, my name is Rachael Lizotte Menden, and I am an owner of Learn Play Grow Academy. I am married and I have 2 children, a daughter, and a son. I was born and raised in Clearwater, Florida. I graduated in 2015 with an Associate of Science degree. I also have extensive educational preparation and practical experience in childhood growth and development. I have retained a lot of knowledge from my involvement as an early childhood educator in other preschools. From an early age, teaching preschool aged children has always been a passion of mine. Having young children of my own has really inspired all the components shown throughout our school. I am excited to offer a highly individualized play-based preschool program to the community.
