The series stars: Gaby Rivero (internationally renowned actress famous for interpreting the role of La Maestra Jimena in Carrusel) as Berenice, the center’s daycare supervisor; Scarlett Ortiz (film and novela actress) as Clara, the tireless director of the community center; Rene Lavan (Hollywood actor, Broadway performer and novela actor) in the role of Dr. Mark Riley, the center’s pediatrician and Clara’s love interest; Daniel Lugo (Hollywood actor and producer) playing the role of El Abuelo Rafael; Sandra Destenave (film and novela actress) as Susana, the center’s newly appointed family therapist and psychologist and, Ana González and Ana Terrero as Ana and Camila, a lesbian couple who is adopting a young child.
