In East Palo Alto, Maribel Aguilar had a clear vision: a daycare center where children felt safe, loved, and respected. She wanted Apolo Daycare and Preschool to be a place families could trust to honor their culture and values.
Maribel faced challenges early. Her business partner suddenly pulled out, leaving her alone. She needed to manage licensing, funding, and strict regulations without help. Instead of giving up, Maribel reached out to us. At Renaissance, she received the practical training, mentorship, and financial guidance needed to get started. With this support, Maribel tackled each problem and successfully launched her daycare.Today, when you walk into Apolo Daycare, you'll see children engaged in activities that reflect their cultures and languages. Teachers warmly greet families each morning, creating a welcoming atmosphere that reassures parents. This daily scene shows Maribel’s vision in action—providing care that respects and celebrates the diverse community it serves.
Today, Apolo Daycare and Preschool thrives in East Palo Alto. Families value its caring environment and cultural respect. Enrollment grows steadily because parents recommend it to others. Maribel’s story shows how determination and the right support can turn tough challenges into real success.
