My career started in early childhood education as a music teacher where I mentored children and young adults.

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.
Why should I choose a Spanish Immersion daycare over a traditional one?
Spanish Immersion during the first five years of life takes advantage of the brain’s most critical window for language development, strengthening neural connectivity, attention, memory, and cognitive flexibility. Research shows that children in immersion programs meet or exceed monolingual peers in school readiness while also developing bilingual fluency, cultural empathy, and long-term cognitive advantages.
