I’m Adriana, owner and educator, and I’m passionate about creating a warm “home away from home” where babies and toddlers can explore, feel secure, and develop at their own pace. Our program offers a Spanish immersion experience, allowing children to naturally absorb the language through songs, stories, play, and daily routines. It’s a wonderful way to build early language skills and cultural awareness while having fun! Our days include a mix of play-based and educational activities that support curiosity, independence, and developmental milestones. With a small group size, every child receives personalized attention and loving care.
