Sonia Barrera

Lead Provider & Founder
19 Years Experience

A devoted mother of five, Sonia brings 19 years of early childhood experience to everything she does. She founded The Learning Playhouse 7 years ago and has since built a nurturing, family-like home for Fresno's youngest learners. Her philosophy is simple: every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

Cintia Pineda

Childcare Staff
Creative & Patient

As a mom of two herself, Cintia understands exactly what it feels like to leave your little one in someone else's care β€” and she takes that trust seriously. She brings a warm, motherly presence to every moment, turning art projects into adventures and tearful drop-offs into cozy hellos. Children feel safe, seen, and loved in her arms, and parents leave knowing their child is in the most caring hands.
