CURRICULUM AND ACTIVITIES

Learn a New Language

All daycare activities are led in Spanish, so that the children develop a foundation in a very helpful language to know in California! But staff are fluent in English, so children (and parents!) need not worry about expressing themselves in that language as well. :)

Feeding and Naps

Feeding and nap schedules differ according to ages. Separate napping rooms are provided to accommodate children with different schedules. Children past the age of 12 months are provided with snacks and a daily, balanced, lunch that is home-made with healthy ingredients. Organic ingredients are used when possible.

Indoor Activities

The children's time is filled with a wide variety of experiences, including:

Table activities: arts and crafts, play dough, puzzles, cooking, letters and colors
Story time
Music: instruments and singing
Indoor exercise when weather is poor
Special activities for development of sensory processing and motor skills.
