OUR PROGRAMS

All our programs focus on creating educational experiences that are interesting, challenging and fun for each child, while striking the optimum balance between free expression and structured limits.

Activities include a blend of independent work and group collaboration which help students develop the physical, cognitive, emotional and social skills to thrive.

We offer full day as well as half day programs.

Our Montessori program has been designed to encourage children to speak only Spanish while exploring their classroom. Storytelling, music, creative play, vocabulary development, and social interactions will be the focus of our program. Using our immersion multi-sensory approach to stimulate every child’s natural learning style, the children will be surrounded by the sounds of the Spanish language. Our goal is to encourage young students to acquire language skills holistically.
