David Quiroz (he/him) is the Regional Council Manager for Birth to Five Illinois Region 31. When David was a young child, he moved to Mexico with his family for about five years. There he became fluent in Spanish and was able to experience life from a different perspective. David learned to appreciate diversity, the impact of a good education, and most importantly, the significance of parent/family involvement in child development.

David earned a double major in Early Childhood Education and Spanish at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois. During his studies, he traveled to Latin America to visit schools and continue learning about different cultures and educational landscapes. After graduating, David taught bilingual preschool for seven years before transitioning to work in family engagement.

Since then, he has facilitated several different parenting programs in a variety of settings and started programs in multiple districts, focusing on engaging parents and strengthening the school and home connection. David is most passionate about seeking programs and opportunities for fathers to engage in their child's development. David lives in Aurora with his wife, Janelle, and their three children, Rubi, Frida, and Joaquin.

This program is being offered with support from the American Library Association in partnership with Simple Mobile.
