MEET THE TEAM
Manpreet (Mandy) Kaur
Infant Program Supervisor
Hi, I’m Mandy!
I am a passionate and dedicated teacher committed to creating a positive, nurturing, and engaging learning environment for all children. I believe that every child is unique and capable, and I strive to support their individual growth through meaningful and developmentally-appropriate experiences.
I will be working closely with families and staff to ensure each child’s needs are met with care and respect. My goal is to create a warm and loving space that supports healthy development and builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
I have been teaching for the last six years. I enjoy reading, doing arts and crafts, and exploring new creative ideas that I can bring into the classroom. I also love spending time outdoors and listening to music. These hobbies help me stay inspired, relaxed, and bring positive energy into my work with children.
I am looking forward to continuing to make a meaningful impact in early child care.
Mandy has been an early childhood educator for over 10 years. She holds an Infant Program Supervisor credential and she is Level V certified in PDIS.
Jennifer Vaquera
Infant Teacher
Hello! My name is Jennifer Vaquera. I was born and raised in Denver CO. I have two boys - a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I love my kids and I love working with infants. I have been working in education since 2014! I am always looking for new things to learn that can show and reflect on me as a teacher.
On my free days I love spending time with my family. We enjoy going to the park with our bikes or reading some books by the fire.
I am here to support each child and their families. My mission is to always have a positive mindset and to approach everything with kindness and respect. I aim to make a safe space where you can be yourself.
Marlinda Casados
Infant Program Supervisor
Hi! My name is Marlinda Casados. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I am happily married and have a two year-old son. I have been working in childcare since 2017. I find this job to be one of the most fulfilling!
This is the foundation of education. Education shapes who we are and it’s the best feeling to help children develop - not just academically but also social-emotionally. As a teacher, I look forward to watching your babies grow. I look forward to building strong connections and helping them find their strengths.
Marlinda has over 10 years of early childhood education experience. She has her Infant Program Supervisor Credential and is a Level III in PDIS.
Haley Ittner
Infant Teacher
Hello! My name is Haley Ittner and I'm a Colorado native with a passion for all of the natural beauty in the state. I love to admire our beautiful mountains, watching the leaves change colors in the fall, and birdwatching (a hobby my three dogs have enthusiastically adopted as well).
I love kids and infants hold a special place in my heart. While I am new to professional infant care, I am a dedicated and eager learner who has been actively studying and preparing, both inside and outside of the daycare center, to provide the best possible support for these precious early stages of development.
I’m excited to watch your baby flourish, explore, and discover the beautiful world around them, while building strong, trusting relationships with the babies and their families.
Haley holds a Level II Credential in PDIS and is actively working towards Level III!
Denisse Dominguez Perez
Hello! I’m Denisse, and I’m from Denver, Colorado. I’ve worked in early childhood education for the past three years, and I truly enjoy supporting families and helping their little ones grow and thrive.
I earned Bachelor of Arts degrees in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado Boulder. After graduating, I worked at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, where seeing the excitement and curiosity of young children inspired me to transition into early childhood education. I wanted the opportunity to make an even greater impact in the lives of children and their families every day.
I enjoy DIY arts and crafts, painting, and spending quality time with my family, especially my 2-month-old niece. I’m a big Disney fan and love embracing my inner kid and finding joy in the little things. I hope to be a positive part of each family's experience at the center and look forward to building meaningful relationships with them. I hope to make a lasting impact by supporting and encouraging every family while helping create a warm, welcoming, and caring environment.

Hannah Gennett
Hi everyone, I’m Hannah! I moved to Colorado from Upstate NY in the fall of 2023 and have been working in Early Childhood Education and childcare ever since. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Writing and love using my creativity to come up with engaging activities for the kids to not only have fun, but discover their interests and passions as well. One year olds are my favorite age group to work with as each month they are changing rapidly, learning new skills and gaining confidence and independence. I’m so grateful to be at JamPot and I look forward to getting to know each child and their beautiful families!
