Curriculum and Developmental Objectives

 

Abejitas A Class
(18 - 23 months)

The Abejitas A class is developing their language, motor, and social-emotional skills. Daily activities are focused on language development, including singing, clear speech, and new vocabulary; fine and gross motor skill growth through a series of engaged activities while fostering social interaction with peers and educators. We also encourage creative expression through art, music, and imaginative play. Above all, our program emphasizes building strong, positive relationships with each child, helping them feel secure as they grow, explore, and develop a sense of independence.

Abejitas B Class
(24 - 35 months)

The Abejitas Class uses their senses and motor skills to explore and make sense of the world around them. We model language by speaking clearly and using full sentences, providing ample opportunities for our students to imitate us. They enjoy calling objects by name, combining words, singing, and responding to music. Throughout the day, we incorporate activities that encourage sensory exploration and self-expression. By fostering language development through play, social interaction, and creative expression, we support their emotional growth and help them build strong, trusting relationships with both teachers and peers.

Colibríes Class
(36 - 47 months)

The Colibríes Class embarks on an exciting journey of social and developmental growth, focusing on areas such as language, fine and gross motor skills, and cognitive abilities. Our program is designed to help young children develop a strong sense of self and foster a love of learning through engaging class activities. We aim to create a safe, nurturing environment that promotes confidence, curiosity, and joy in their early years. Committed to building a solid foundation, we ensure that each child develops the skills and experiences necessary for lifelong success and growth.
