Casa de Corazón® Northeast Minneapolis is Now Open and Welcoming Families

Registrations are open, and enrollments are underway

Casa de Corazón®, a Spanish and Cultural Immersion early learning program, has announced its new Northeast Minneapolis location at 220 1st Avenue NE officially opened today, May 19.

Housed in a historic 1910 building originally built by the Minneapolis Fire Department, the center has been thoughtfully renovated into a vibrant early learning environment that honors the building's legacy while serving today's families. Local franchise owners Aleks and Elizabeth are leading the center alongside Casa's experi­enced team, bringing more than two decades of Casa's mission to the Northeast community. 

Each Casa de Corazón location offers: 

•  A holistic curriculum supporting cognitive, physical, and emotional development
•  Spanish and Cultural Immersion throughout the day
•  Wholesome meals prepared on-site using whole, minimally processed, and organic ingredients
•  Thoughtfully designed classrooms that celebrate Latin American cultures
•  Secure facilities with indoor movement spaces, outdoor play areas, and modern safety systems

"We are thrilled to officially open our doors and welcome Northeast families into the Casa community. This center is ready to serve, and we cannot wait to grow alongside the families and neighbors who make this part of Minneapolis so special." Natalie Standridge, Founder and Franchisor of Casa de Corazón

Families interested in touring the center, enrolling, or joining the waitlist can visit casaearlylearning.com
