Our Teachers
¡Hola! Hello! , my name is Paola Mansour and I am a proud mother and caregiver with a passion for helping children learn and grow. I have always loved taking care of others, starting with my younger siblings whom I helped raise alongside my mother. Seeing the joy on their faces as they learned and explored the world around them was always my greatest reward.
Years later, when I became a mother myself, I was inspired to share this love of learning with other children. I opened a home daycare and began offering my services to families in my community. One thing I was especially excited to share was my native language - Spanish. As a bilingual caregiver, I believe that learning a second language at a young age can truly broaden a child’s horizons and give them a lifelong appreciation for other cultures.
