I began my journey at Casa de Corazón as an Administrative Assistant and later grew into my role as Assistant Director. Outside of Casa, I love exploring new cities and restaurants, spending time along the Minnesota shoreline, and finding new places to unwind and recharge.

Operations Manager

Ten years ago, Casa gave me the opportunity to begin my career as a toddler and preschool teacher. That experience shaped my passion for early childhood education and led me to grow into an Operations Manager role, where I continue to support and strengthen the field. Outside of work, I enjoy spending meaningful time with my family.

Programs Offered

Infant

Warm, responsive caregivers build secure attachments through songs, stories, sensory play, and daily Spanish woven into routines. Individualized schedules and consistent communication help babies feel safe, rested, and ready to explore—laying foundations for language, motor, and social-emotional growth.

Toddler

Toddlers learn in a stimulating bilingual environment with structured routines, rich play, and teacher-guided conversations that build communication and self-help skills. A clean, safe classroom and predictable daily flow support curiosity, independence, and friendships.

Preschool

Preschoolers grow through purposeful play that blends early literacy, math, science, creative arts, and daily Spanish. Small-group work and hands-on projects strengthen collaboration, problem solving, and school-ready routines using the Casa Creative Curriculum.

Pre-K

Pre-K deepens early reading and writing, number sense, inquiry projects, and social-emotional skills—all within a bilingual day designed for kindergarten readiness. Children enjoy indoor/outdoor movement, enrichment, field trips, and community experiences that build confidence and comprehension.

Hear From Casa Familias

We wanted a daycare that felt like a second home and a preschool that actually prepared our child for kindergarten. We found both here. The Spanish and Cultural Immersion is such a gift, and the teachers are unbelievably caring. Our daughter can’t wait to go to school.

– Sara

The NAEYC accreditation gave us confidence in the quality, and the results show. Our son’s vocabulary, problem solving, and self-regulation have been incredible. He’s learning Spanish every day and brings songs and new words home. We love the communication from the staff.

– Tanner

We love the healthy meals, loving teachers, and all the songs they learn. Our toddler is talking more, trying new foods, and making little friends. The cultural celebrations are a highlight for our family and a beautiful way to learn together.

– Aiko

We toured several preschools and chose this one for the balance of structure and play. The Spanish throughout the day feels natural, and we see growth in our child’s confidence and comprehension. It’s truly a community that partners with parents.

– Will

Our pre-K experience has been outstanding. The projects are engaging, the routines are clear, and the focus on kindness is evident. The Spanish exposure has boosted our child’s curiosity and memory, and we feel fully ready for kindergarten!

FAQ

Do we (or our child) need to know Spanish to start?

No. Most new families don’t speak Spanish. Our Spanish & Cultural Immersion model introduces key words and routines from day one, and children pick it up quickly. We also share simple at-home tips to help parents support learning.

Will my child be prepared for kindergarten, even if it’s English-speaking?

Yes. We use the Casa Creative Curriculum—NAEYC-approved Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum—focused on kindergarten readiness. We track growth from infancy through Pre-K with formal assessments so children build strong language, reasoning, and comprehension skills.

What makes your program “premium” early education?

NAEYC accreditation signals high quality in safety, curriculum, and teaching practice, and it’s a distinction earned by a relatively small share of programs nationwide. Pair that with daily Spanish & Cultural Immersion, healthy routines, and purposeful play, and families get a premium child care and preschool experience.

How will I stay connected during the day?

You’ll receive real-time updates, photos, activity logs, and messages through the Casa App, plus reminders and center announcements via push notifications. It’s an easy way to follow your child’s day and communicate with teachers.
