Every family’s needs are unique, and we are committed to providing high-quality care while fostering the learning and development of a valuable foreign language like Spanish.

We aim for our students to become proficient in both English and Spanish, giving them the gift of bilingualism and expanded opportunities for the future. Our students engage in daily learning, exploring practical topics such as everyday interactions, colors, numbers, shapes, routines, commands, and much more.

Emily's Home Of Fun And Learning

I hold a bachelors degree in Elementary Education and would like to provide childcare to a small group of children in my home. I have been the site director for a before and after school program for the last two years and have decided to come home to be with my son before he starts kindergarten next school year. I will provide a preschool like environment where we work on numbers, letters, writing, coloring, painting, and many more educational activities. We have a three minute walk to the park across the street from our house so we will be spending lots of time outside when the weather permits. I will provide structured time and also a lot of time for free play and discovery.
