Bilingual early learning for infants to Pre-K, building strong foundations through care, play, and discovery.
Our Story
Elizabeth’s Daycare and Preschool Center is a family-owned and operated business that provides quality childcare services.
We started as a licensed home childcare facility in East Arlington, MA, in October 2006. Due to the high demand for our services, we expanded to two other family child care in Arlington Heights in 2016 after a waiting list of over 22 families in one year. We understand that there is an increasing need for quality childcare in the Arlington area, which is growing rapidly.

A Family Tradition of Care Since 2006
A Family Tradition of
Care Since 2006
Elizabeth’s Family Daycare began in 2006 with a simple mission: to provide a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
What started as a family childcare program in East Arlington has grown alongside the community, serving generations of local families while maintaining the personal attention and home-like atmosphere that parents value most.
Today, our programs continue to combine loving care, early childhood education, bilingual learning, and play-based experiences that support every stage of development. Our commitment remains the same as it was on day one—to create a place where children feel safe, families feel supported, and learning happens naturally through exploration, creativity, and meaningful relationships.
For nearly two decades, we have proudly partnered with Arlington families, helping children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Pedagogy and Approach
Our school provides a unique combination of challenging academics, emotional support, and creative stimulation that lays a solid... foundation for our students’ future. We incorporate daily practices to develop practical life skills and sensorial activities. Our hands-on, project-based approach engages children in interactive ways to connect with the Spanish narrative. This includes science experiments, gardening, cooking, arts, and crafts. We follow the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which values child-led learning and team communication. Our environment serves as the “Third Teacher,” allowing children to express themselves through “drawings, sculpting, dramatic play, writing, and painting” and learn through “The Hundred Languages.” We document each child’s journey through pictures, videos, and portfolios. We also prioritize global and community awareness and cultural sensitivity, celebrating diversity, heritage, and differences. Our small ratio allows us to provide individualized support for each child’s emotional, physical, and cognitive needs.

Philosophy
We have developed a blended approach that incorporates play-based learning to foster the overall development of children. Our curriculum ... is based on an emergent approach, where children are gradually introduced to elements and best practices from progressive curriculums such as Reggio Emilia and Pedagogy of Play. We encourage self-directed play, which helps children to develop decision-making and planning skills. Our curriculum is co-constructed with the children, and their interests guide our topics of investigation. At our center, we believe in creating a loving and supportive community. We are committed to being engaged and involved in the child’s everyday learning, and we strive to provide a welcoming, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can live, grow, play, discover, develop, dream, and learn.
