Curriculum

Our Bilingual Curriculum

Our program is fully bilingual (Spanish and English), designed to encourage curiosity, discovery, and problem-solving in a supportive environment that fosters individual growth and development. We believe that every child learns best when allowed to explore and learn at their own pace through an emergent curriculum tailored to meet each child’s unique needs and interests.

Our curriculum incorporates a variety of activities aimed at developing children’s physical, cognitive, social, and emotional skills. We use a project-based learning approach, called a work project, which involves in-depth exploration of topics carefully selected by our teachers and rotated based on the children’s interests.

Each day begins with engaging activities planned by our bilingual staff to support your child’s social, emotional, creative, and physical growth. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Art projects

  • Science explorations

  • Music and movement activities

  • Dramatic play

  • Creative toys

  • Outdoor play

Through this approach, children not only develop language skills in both Spanish and English but also gain confidence and a love of learning in a nurturing and culturally rich environment.

Core Values

Our Core Values

  • Individualized Growth: Every child is allowed to learn, thrive, and fully develop across all developmental areas at their own pace.

  • Inclusive Program Model: We are committed to an integrated program that includes children with special needs and collaborates closely with parents to provide individualized support plans.

  • Cultural Respect: Our services honor and respect the culture, language, and ethnic values of every child and family we serve.

  • Equity and Non-Discrimination: Access to developmental childcare services is equitable. No family will face discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or perceived disability.

  • Family Partnership: Families are an essential part of curriculum development, activity planning, and progress evaluations, ensuring a collaborative approach to each child’s growth.

  • Qualified Staff: We maintain a highly qualified, diverse, and motivated teaching team dedicated to nurturing every child’s potential.

Admission Policies

Admission and Policies

We welcome all children into our program and believe that parent support and participation are essential to a child’s success. Research shows that children achieve better outcomes when parents are actively involved in their education, so parent engagement is a key requirement for enrollment.

Health Requirements:
Before starting, your child must provide a licensed physician’s certificate of good health along with up-to-date immunizations for diphtheria, tetanus, rubella, whooping cough, measles, and polio.

Non-Discrimination Policy:
Our program has a strict no-discrimination policy. We celebrate diversity and welcome families from all backgrounds. Our community embraces differences as strengths.

Admission Decisions:
Each admission decision is made collectively with input from our dedicated team, including the Director, lead teachers, and assistant teachers, to ensure the best fit for each child and family.
