Preschool (3 yrs old – 4 yrs old):

The characteristics of this age group are that they want to feel independent and “in control”. This is a critical time for children to develop independence in social, emotional and physical behavior. We offer the children choices whenever possible while introducing social guidelines for group participation. At this stage, the children are very interested in participating in small group activities and fantasy play as they develop a strong sense of self.

Sharing and developing good social skills are an important part of their daily experiences. Some of the skills and concepts covered are:

Foreign Language:
We offer Spanish as a second language; it is an edge children get from a young age according to the demands of our globalized society.

Our children have the opportunity to learn Spanish through age-appropriate activities. Thus, our kids learn Spanish in the same natural way they would learn their first language. We teach our children common Spanish vocabulary such as colors, numbers, etc.
