Center Director
Favorite TLE® Character:
Om
Hello, my name is Carmen. I am honored to lead the New Berlin team. I started my early childcare journey over 11 years ago. I was a teacher for 8 years and have been in management for the past 3. I've earned a degree in Human Services and am currently completing my Early Childhood Education degree. Working with children and their families has always been a passion of mine. I believe children learn best through play and consistency. I strive to a great resource for our teachers and support them as they provide the highest quality care for your children. Outside of work I love spending time with my daughter. We love to attending festivals, eating frozen yogurt and going to water parks in the summertime. I also enjoy traveling and going to bingo. I believe in TLE and I believe in my team!
