Casa De Los Angeles - Yo Soy Un Angel

OUR NEW CENTER

All of us at Casa de los Angeles are thrilled to celebrate the opening of our second center located in Colonia Santa Julia. The grand opening party was very special . . . and the first day with new children was even better. Enjoy these pictures of the construction . . . working our way to the grand opening party.
