Meet Ariel. Everything about Ariel is bright—her smile, her favorite colorful outfits, her excitement about her friends here at Las Trampas. A leader among her peers, Ariel’s compassion and desire to nurture extends to everyone from her classmates, to the staff, to her family and her beloved dog, Faline.
