Yaneth Bribiesca
Director
Yaneth leads Manzanita and answers the phone most mornings, in Spanish or English. She grew up in Watsonville speaking Spanish at home and English at school, and she is the person to ask about a tour.
The team
The people who speak both languages with your child
Twelve adults work at Manzanita: a director, two guides in each room, two assistants, a cook and two people in the office. Three of them are here.
Metzli Alejandre
Lead guide, Luna room, Spanish side
Metzli leads the Spanish half of the Luna room: the morning circle, the songs and the first counting games. She speaks English with families who prefer it.
Jazel Legaspi
Lead guide, Estrella room, English side
Jazel leads the English half of the Estrella room and reads the afternoon story. She speaks Spanish with the children's families at the door.

Guides are in the rooms through the morning, and Yaneth is at the door.
