Nuestra filosofía

Explore the world, paso a paso

We strive to create a place where children can explore the world around them, make friends, learn about themselves and others, build a great sense of self and develop a love for learning.

Lo que creemos

What we believe

Explore the world

Explorar el mundo

Our teachers build life-long skills and offer experiences that enrich each child’s emotional, cognitive, social, intellectual and creative abilities. Children learn somewhere they feel comfortable and safe, so they can solve problems and share their feelings through words, music, art and other creative means.

Kindergarten readiness

Listos para el kínder

Our curriculum was built around kindergarten readiness and play-based interaction, and it is taught in English and Spanish. Specialty games, puzzles and concepts help children develop critical thinking.

The skills to grow

Seis niños por maestra

Shaped with the guidance of many kindergarten professionals, our program supports every child, with six children to every teacher. Our goal: children who enter kindergarten with a solid foundation and become successful lifelong learners.

Play is the work of the child.

~ Maria Montessori

¿Por qué español?

A second language opens the world

By introducing children to a different language and culture, we inspire them to explore a world beyond their own. Experts agree that a second language is best introduced as early as possible, and its benefits last long into adulthood.

So Spanish isn’t a subject here; it’s part of the day. Circle time, learning stations and art class are taught in Spanish, and children hear it in many different settings, every single day.
