Meet March’s Woman of the Month! Su nombre es Melissa Page and she is the founder of Mi Casita Preschool, a new community-based, Spanish Immersion Preschool in Fort Worth. This native Fort Worthian is moving back home and is beyond excited to open a second location of Mi Casita (the first location being in Philly and having an over two year waitlist). Starting with earning a Bachelors in Spanish in St. Louis, to getting an MBA at SMU, to working at Telemundo in Dallas, to a teaching fellowship in Philly while getting a Masters in Spanish Education, Melissa has had quite the windy path! Thankfully for our city, it has blown her back home and in the direction of a tailor-made, Spanish Immersion Preschool opening this June for summer camps (for confident walking toddlers through elementary age children) and in August for preschool (confident walking toddlers through age 6).

Mi Casita’s approach revolves around project-based learning, which engages the students (of all ages) in a more comprehensive understanding of the theme developing both problem-solving and creativity skills. They also utilize the fundamentals of learning language through complete Spanish Immersion and authentic cultural experiences.
