GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Children participate in a program that is designed to nurture the physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative aspects of learning. Through interactions with loving caregivers, children are provided experiences that are not only developmentally appropriate but culturally and linguistically appropriate as well.
Caregivers at each center observe, interact with, and develop specific instructional activities for the children. Because it is a strongly developmental approach, each child is recognized for his or her uniqueness and is carefully led to develop in a way appropriate to them. It is a program that fosters independence, exploration, and discovery. more
DIVERSITY
Celebrating the diverse cultural makeup of Miami Dade County is evident through our dual language program. Here, children are immersed in their first language (usually either English or Spanish) as well as in another. Children continue to develop their home language as they begin learning a second language, and their language development is based on relationships with caregivers knowledgeable about first and second language acquisition. more
