Through positive guidance, and a dynamic bilingual curriculum, we create a foundation for children’s healthy development and school readiness. We work with children to foster: a love of learning; literacy and numeracy skills, social and emotional development; curiosity, exploration and creativity; cooperation and collaboration; problem-solving skills; and respect for self, family, community and the environment.
We know that parents are the experts of their own children. We provide opportunities and resources for families to gain knowledge, strengthen parenting skills, share information, and develop partnerships within the community. Part-time and full-day care are available. Fees are based on a sliding scale, and we offer subsidized care for qualified, low-income families. See our eligibility requirements for details.
We know that a good teacher is one who travels the winding road with the child as a guide and companion, rather than as the ‘smart’ leader who must control the child’s behavior. Our centers maintain low teacher-to-child ratios of 1:8 for preschoolers and 1:4 for toddlers. We offer developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate play-based programs, catering to the unique needs of each child.
We are proud to maintain the highest standards for our Early Education Centers to ensure a safe learning environment. Each member of our teaching staff is: (1) Interactive and engaged in each child’s learning; (2) CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in the latest Health and Safety practices; (3) Health screened, TB tested, and fingerprinted with clearance as required by Community Care Licensing.
