Our Approach: Learning through Love and Curiosity
We offer a play-based, bilingual approach to early childhood education that is rooted in love, curiosity, and the belief that children are naturally capable and inquisitive learners. Drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we encourage children to explore and express themselves through a variety of creative outlets, including:
-
Music & Art
-
Nature Exploration
-
Cooking & Dramatic Play
-
Science Experiments
Our bilingual curriculum in English and Spanish fosters language development, cultural awareness, and a lifelong love of learning. We focus on child-led learning, collaboration, and meaningful connections between educators, children, and families to create an enriching and supportive learning experience.
What Makes Us the Best Choice?
1. Outdoor Play
Children can enjoy outdoor playtime in a large, fenced-in yard with a variety of outdoor toys. Additionally, walks around the neighborhood in a stroller or wagon are taken.
2. Age-Appropriate Curriculum
We offer a comprehensive, research-based, age-appropriate, learn-through-guided play bilingual curriculum that is taught daily. Our lesson plans and daily activities for the children cover cognitive, language, physical, social-emotional, and adaptive/self-care learning domains.
3. Open When You Need Us!
Our childcare facility is open for 10 hours every weekday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, which is much longer than most family child care providers. We offer year-round childcare with a planned program calendar.
4. Healthy Food Included In Package Option
Our childcare facility offers healthy and all-natural foods and drinks, including trained kitchen staff with a Serve safe certificate. Breakfast, lunch, and PM snack are included in the option package.
