早期教育课程
The early education programs are offered through our applicable Child Care Licenses. We offer year-round care with extended hours for children ages 3 months and up. Our program follows the Montessori approach to early childhood education and also offers foreign language immersion.
Our personalized curriculum integrates the Montessori methodology while adhering to all applicable state standards. In the Montessori classroom, the environment is designed to provide child with autonomy to select among activities that have been carefully placed at their level and with a developmental goal in mind. Children in the Montessori classroom also learn to participate in daily tasks such as setting up lunch and feeding the animals. To learn more about the Montessori method, click here.
Our early education programs are designed to provide our students with a strong foundation to develop the life-long benefits that research associates with bilingualism. (Read about the research here.) Depending on your child's placement, you may have the choice of Spanish, Mandarin, German, and French immersion and enrichment language options.
