How toilet-trained do children need to be? Toilet training is taught in the 2-year-old class and children are strongly encouraged to be successful in using the toilet before entering into the 3-year-old class.
Parental participation required: We have many volunteer opportunities and parents are encouraged to participate in the school’s many activities or events.
Special features: Our program is Spanish Immersion. Teachers speak to the children in Spanish 100 percent of the day. Non-Spanish speaking students learn Spanish naturally, in the same way they learn their first language at home. Children who speak Spanish in the home reinforce their family’s language and heritage. All is done in a very nurturing and diverse environment.
