We are excited to serve the San Carlos community with local, nurturing childcare and preschool services. We are part of the Building Kidz Worldwide family of campuses, providing unequaled developmental experiences for young children. Our mission is to deliver a world class preschool experience resulting in children that love learning, connect with the performing arts, and demonstrate accelerated development of their confidence, commitment, and character. Our philosophy is to develop the “whole child”. We focus on 6 key areas of development: emotional, social, cognitive, communication, physical, and academic. We create an environment where children are challenged intellectually and are engaged in an interest of lifelong learning through an intelligent integration of age appropriate development curriculum and performing arts. Our curriculum is a comprehensive arts-integrated learning program in which children develop skills and knowledge of numeracy, literacy, music, arts, socialization, self-regulation and control, self-efficacy, morality, fine and gross motor skills, and emotional expression. Additionally, our children perform two shows annually: a Broadway style production in June and a winter recital in December. It is this philosophy, as well as our preschool programs, that allow Building Kidz preschools to quickly become the preeminent provider of early childhood education their respective communities.
