What will my child do and learn at La Plazita:

At La Plazita we strongly believe in preparing children to succeed. Our leadership team is made up of highly regarded educators and trainers that have come together to create a solid curriculum. We are an immersion program that immerses children not only in the Spanish language but also in our culture. We strongly believe that Spanish is the way in which we communicate, however what we do is just as important. Our program works on both the social emotional aspects of early childhood as well as the cognitive skills they will need to enter into Kindergarten. We also believe strongly in health and nutrition and integrate exercise into our daily program as well as promote healthy eating habits through our nutrition policy and our garden.

Ages

We accept children between the ages of 2 to 6.

Transitioning to Kindergarten

We are very aware that many of our children may transition into an all English Kindergarten and therefore integrate our two individual and separate language models for our older children. We utilize a clear understanding of what is transferable and what is not and teach children based on this. Our children succeed in all English schools with the added advantage of a second language. Children who learn two languages at a young age exercise their brain more so than those that speak only one language.

Specifics on What My Child Will do and Learn

To speak Spanish, to share, to build self-esteem, love, empathy and respect for others, develop frienships. To become critical thinkers, to recognize letters and numbers, colors, to heighten their creativity, to play, to respect others and their environment, to be responsible, to clean up after themselves, to eat balanced snacks, to exercise, to dance, to sing, to cook, to communicate with their peers and others, and much much more. Many of our two year olds already write their name and most of our three year olds know the sound of almost all the letters.
