About Us

Our Philosophy

This is Our Philosophy and we live it every day...

Learning should be fun and children learn best when actively involved. Optimal learning and development occur within a community where children feel safe and welcome, where everyone contributes, everyone belongs and everyone is respected as an individual. Children, their families, the teachers and support staff are valued members. Through active participation within a community centered around the Latin culture, each child will embrace the Spanish language. At the same time, he/she will master skills essential for success in future years.

Mission
