Local Entrepreneur to Bring High-Demand Spanish Immersion Childcare to Denver Community

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Tierra Encantada, the leader in Spanish immersion early education, has signed a new franchise agreement in the Denver metro, continuing the brand’s nationwide expansion as demand for bilingual childcare accelerates. Geoffrey Williams, a Denver-area resident, young parent, and mission-driven entrepreneur, will open a Tierra Encantada center in the community, bringing families a warm, Spanish-immersion early education environment with play-based STEAM learning and wholesome, scratch-made meals.

Spanish is projected to be spoken by nearly one in three people in the U.S. by 2050, fueling rapid demand for early Spanish immersion. Tierra Encantada is meeting that need with 26 locations open or under construction and another 28 in active development, including three Denver-area daycares coming soon in Englewood, Westminster, and Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

“We want to bring families daycare that is reliable and trusted, both things that we have been seeking for our own daughter,” said Williams. “Denver is culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse, so I know Tierra Encantada can make a meaningful impact here. We want to provide families with nurturing care, excellent curriculum, wholesome meals, and the incredible lifelong advantage of learning in Spanish.”

Williams brings a strong entrepreneurial background to the brand. In his early career, he launched a junk-removal business with no capital and grew it into a profitable company that he eventually sold for seven-figure equity. He believes this next chapter, paired with Tierra Encantada’s structure, support, and mission, will allow him to build something even more impactful for local families.

His wife Alyssa, who grew up locally and has a background in infant language acquisition research and dietetics, inspired the family’s appreciation for bilingual learning and high-quality nutrition. Their 20-month-old daughter is also a driving motivation behind Williams’ desire to bring Tierra Encantada’s environment to the community.

“Geoff embodies our mission. His passion for community, commitment to early education, and experience as both a parent and entrepreneur make him an outstanding addition to our system,” said Founder and CEO Kristen Denzer. “Tierra Encantada has had a disciplined growth strategy expanding into communities where we can truly make a difference for families and franchisees alike.”

Founded in 2013, Tierra Encantada delivers a distinctive childcare experience for children aged six weeks through six years with a focus on the growth of the whole child. Its play-based STEAM curriculum, taught entirely in Spanish, helps children naturally learn a second language while nurturing creativity, curiosity, and connection.

With an average unit volume (AUV) of $3 million for centers open more than 24 months, no nights or weekends required, and a recession-resistant model built on recurring revenue, Tierra Encantada continues attracting entrepreneurs seeking purpose-driven, scalable businesses.
