B.H.C.C. is based on the child development model which incorporate the theories of the great philosophers of Piaget, Vygosky, Erikson, Gardner and others. Learning through play is viewed as the cornerstone of the curriculum. Here children are giving the opportunity to explore materials and participate in variety of experiences. Activities are carefully planned and implemented in an open- classroom sitting. Children are free to choose from age- appropriate activities including: Art, music, Language Development, Pre- Math Skills, Science and Nature and Dramatic Play. Children develop self - esteem, independence and problem solving skills as they make choices and assist in planning the environment and activities. We offer a high quality bilingual program such as the dual language (English & Spanish). The proficiency in more than one language is a valuable skill to be cultivated in our communities starring in the early ages. My primary goal is for the children to feel safe and secure. Prior to being independent a child must know that he or she can depend on adults and a predictable environment. Children are treated with respect and kindness. I recognize the children develop at different rates and different interest.

Bun Bun Bunny is a Spanish Immersion Family Child Care. One of the joys of my life was to teach the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. This experience allowed me to learn a lot about what high school students need to be successful in their future. When it came time to consider partial retirement, I developed some ideas about how to apply what I had learned to very young children. My method, which can be described as teaching through play, has the potential to equip children ages 2 months to 5 years with everything they need to succeed in kindergarten. My method increases the capacity for learning across all developmental domains: physical, cognitive, emotional, language, and social development. Children have fun and learn through sensory exploration, discovery and inquiry.

Activities are designed to provide stimulating experiences for the children where they can learn through their own inquisitiveness. The emphasis during the toddler and preschool years is on building self-confidence and encouraging the natural curiosity that toddlers and preschoolers possess. Throughout the day, children enjoy the large variety of play materials that are readily made available to them, as well as creative centers where children can enjoy fun activities such as playing dress up, building with blocks and experimenting at the sensory table. Art, music, language, math and science activities geared to little hands are also introduced.

CommuniKids Language Immersion Preschool began as a small, parent-run cooperative preschool in 2003 and has developed into the Region's premier children's language center and preschool. At CommuniKids, we prepare young children to become the global citizens of tomorrow while immersing them in a second language. We have our own proprietary approach to education called ECSL (pronounced "excel"). ECSL is an acronym for Early Childhood Second Language, a groundbreaking early childhood educational approach that prepares children for their K-12 education while promoting fluency in a second language through engaging, developmentally-appropriate activities. ECSL provides children with extended periods of instruction in a second language while giving them opportunities to develop their cognitive, linguistic, motor, and social-emotional skills. In other words, ECSL students master preschool skills while developing second language fluency. Our students gain an extremely high level of proficiency upon completion of our preschool program and are very well-prepared to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond. Our NAEYC-accredited DC center is located in Falls Church and offers full-immersion, play-based preschool in Spanish or French for children aged 2 1/2 to 5 years of age. Choose from full-day and half-day preschool options. We are open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In addition to our preschool, we offer weekly language classes for children ages 18 months to ten in Spanish, French, Arabic, and Mandarin Chinese. We also offer nine weeks of summer camp in all languages. If you are looking for a high-quality early childhood program that provides added value, give your child the gift of multilingualism at CommuniKids.

I was born and lived in Lima, Peru for 35 years. I graduated in Industrial engineer at Federico Villarreal University in Lima Peru. After immigrating to the United States of America, I went back to college (Broward Community College) and started taking English classes. Later, I received another bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Florida Atlantic University in 2008. Currently, I am pursuing a master's in Early Childhood Education at Towson University focusing on understanding the language, cognitive, physical, and social/emotional development of a child in the context of different points of influence, such as a multicultural, technology, the social/ prosocial and multilingual background. I came to the U.S.A with my husband and three daughters, who at the time were 5 years old, 3 years old and 7 months old. I knew it would be completely different for us and we would face new challenges. The most important challenge would be to learn and master the language, English. The second and third challenges, respectively, was to become immersed in a new culture and new traditions and to face the new and different education system. I needed to be prepared in order to help my children start school correctly, since they were all very little (Kindergarten age and younger). My eldest daughter participated in ESOL classes, but she managed to get into Mathematics Advanced GEM (Great Explorations in Mathematics), which is a program for students to move faster through math subjects than they would in a regular program. My other two children were identified as Gifted students early-on. All these events and experiences help me better understand the U.S. education system. In addition, to working with my children and as a college student, I had a lot of exposure in teaching. My experience as a substitute teacher in Florida showed me how the education system of different grades. I learned it is essential to make an impact early-on to help students thrive and be successful. As a teacher at a childcare center in Maryland, I saw firsthand how important diversity and inclusion is on young students. Now, as an owner and director of a small center (maximum 12 children) I see that children's education is not static but a dynamic process. My main goal is to make a difference in every child's future by bringing out their unique potential but always reminding them to laugh and to enjoy every moment. State Licensed & 5+ prior years experience.
