Our Teachers

Esmeralda Gamboa, Director

As owner and caregiver of Manitas D Amor, I understand how emotional it can be to leave your child in someone else’s care. As a single mother I know firsthand the trust it takes to walk away each morning to provide for your family. That experience inspired me to create a childcare program where children feel sale, loved, and valued. My goal is to provide a nurturing, engaging and bilingual environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive. I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and encouragement, and every parent deserves to feel confident that their child is in caring hands.

Philosophy

Our program focuses on learning through play, hands-on activities, and meaningful relationships while supporting each child’s social, emotional and development growth. We provide a bilingual English and Spanish environment where children feel valued, encouraged, and confident as they learn and grow. We are committed to quality care and working toward becoming a FOCUS provider to continue improving the experience we provide for children and families.

Location

Manitas D Amor is located in a welcoming community with access to nearby schools like Helen Cordero Elementary School, and parks such as Tower Park.
