¡Hola! Welcome to our little corner of the internet where creativity, logic, and family fun come together. I’m Jaz, and along with my feathered friend Patote, we’re here to make learning feel like the exciting adventure it should be.
Meet Jaz - Your Fellow Parent in the Trenches
By day, I’m a computer scientist navigating algorithms and code. By night (and early morning, and most weekends), I’m a mom just like you, trying to balance screen time limits, endless questions about “why the sky is blue,” and the eternal search for activities that actually keep little hands busy and minds engaged.
The magic happens when these two worlds collide. My background in logical thinking and problem-solving, combined with the real-world experience of parenting, creates something special - educational resources that actually work for busy families.
I believe every child is naturally curious and capable of amazing things. Sometimes they just need the right tools and a supportive environment to let that brilliance shine. That’s where Tacuco comes in.
Meet Patote - Our Beloved Big Duck
Every great adventure needs a trusty companion, and ours comes with feathers! Patote (which means “Big Duck” in Spanish) is more than just our mascot - he’s the spirit of playful learning that guides everything we create.
Patote reminds us that learning should feel like play, that mistakes are just part of the journey, and that sometimes the best discoveries happen when we’re having the most fun. You’ll spot him throughout our printables, cheering kids on and making even the trickiest logic puzzles feel like games with a friend.
Why “Tacuco”?
“Tacuco” is our playful shorthand for “está cuco” - a Spanish expression meaning “it’s cute” or “it’s cool.” It perfectly captures how we want children to feel about learning: that moment when their eyes light up and they think, “Hey, this is actually pretty cool!”
That spark of excitement, that sense of “I can do this!” - that’s what we’re after. Every puzzle, every activity, every carefully crafted challenge is designed to create those magical “tacuco” moments.
Join Our Learning Adventure
Ready to discover what happens when logic meets creativity, when challenge meets fun, and when learning becomes the adventure it was always meant to be?
¡Vámonos! Let’s explore, discover, and create those magical “tacuco” moments together.
P.S. - Patote wants you to know that even ducks make mistakes sometimes, and that’s perfectly okay. In fact, that’s often where the best learning happens!
