I'm a wife and mother to three beautiful children and a Goldendoodle. I enjoy crafting, traveling, shopping and spending time with family and friends. My favorite sport teams are the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Chicago Cubs and Bears.

I love working in a school, especially Early Childhood, because I enjoy being around
young children. Their energy and excitement bring me such joy!

My hobby is playing the guitar and enjoy playing my guitar at my church and enjoy being part of my church choir. In the future I would love to bring my guitar to school and sing for the kiddos.

Araceli Cabrales

Early Learning Center Paraprofessional

My name is Araceli but I go by Ms. Sally. I have two daughters and four grandchildren. I have been married for 32 years. I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. I feel I was meant to work with children. I took child care classes in high school and did a great job. After high school , the daycare I did my observations and class grade through hired me as part time classroom aide. One year later I got hired full time. My love for working with children started then. I worked at a toy store, at a fast food place , at a bank as a teller but my passion was to work with children. I love and enjoy working with children and helping them start their learning journey. A few of my hobbies are going to dances,(Quinceanera , weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations), listen to music and gambling a little at the casino.
