In this episode we meet Carmina Abrego, the owner of Caring tus Cariños.
We focused on helping Carmina manage the common issue of having separate rooms with only one educator. Tune in to see how we helped get the space organized and created defined learning areas. We did this by:

- giving the dramatic play area its own makeover with a new play kitchen and a storage closet to keep the new dress-up materials organized.
