Belle Haven home daycare is open since 2019 in East Menlo park. More than 15 years of experience serving children ages 18 months trough 4.9.

We learn in Spanish!!! Research shows that early childhood offers a unique opportunity to learn languages, as well as providing a critical basis for all future development and learning. Furthermore, immersion in a second language supports children to excel in linguistic, academic, social and cognitive development. By exposing your child to Spanish at an early age, you stimulate brain activity which can open doors of opportunity later in life. We believe that children are robust learners who actively construct theories about their world and test their hypotheses through play and social interactions. Teachers provide materials and encouragement that help children to develop a deep and connected understanding of the world. Paint, clay, water, sand and blocks are a part of everyday at Imagina Menlo, as pre-academic skills are smoothly integrated into the children's play. Of special importance, a Mediterranean style, Spanish lunch and snacks (made with organic ingredients whenever possible) are a cornerstone of the Imagina Menlo experience. We especially value coming together to share our meals, and we see this time as a special opportunity to enjoy and experience the social skills and friendships that naturally develop in this context. At Imagina Menlo, children play and learn in Spanish. The Spanish language is fully integrated in the curriculum with songs, story telling, games, Spanish lunch cooked on site and projects. Teachers will only use English when a child that is not fluent in Spanish is distressed or in case of emergency. Children do not need to know Spanish to enroll at Imagina Menlo, but parents are encouraged to expose them to the Spanish language at home through songs and books. If there is a Spanish speaking parent in the household, we strongly encourage you to only use Spanish with your child, even if your child responds to you in English. This is called receptive bilingualism (when the child understands but does not speak) and it is the first step to full bilingualism.

Sarah says "Our daughter has been at Imagina Menlo since she was four months old (now 2.5 years). We have loved their individualized support, the warm and loving...

Located in Saratoga, Saint Andrew's Episcopal School is a coeducational, Pre-Kindergarten through Grade Eight day school. Saint Andrew's offers an advanced, comprehensive academic program plus enrichment in the areas of the studio and performing arts, physical education, Spanish, technology, character development and community service. Our campus is a vibrant, diverse community where all are welcomed and respected. Far more than just a year to fill the gap between preschool and Kindergarten, the Saint Andrew's Pre-Kindergarten program includes a fully developed curriculum designed to help our earliest learners develop their intellectual, spiritual, physical, and social capacities as fully as possible. From the flexible, open classroom design, to the daily schedule that carefully balances academics, enrichment and playtime, to the curriculum itself, each component is carefully integrated to encourage students to think critically, to express themselves creatively, and to find joy in discovery. Our developmental approach to teaching is consistent with recommendations made by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The curriculum supports each of the learning domains: social and emotional (social behaviors, self-awareness), cognitive (language, literacy, communication, math, science), physical (gross and fine motor), artistic (creative and musical), and spiritual. Pre-Kindergarten provides a supportive bridge between preschool and Kindergarten. We balance play and structured time, giving children many opportunities to explore materials in the classroom. A Pre-Kindergarten class day begins at 8:15AM and ends at 11:45AM. The optional extended day program from 11:45AM to 3:00PM explores and expands upon topics from the morning program in a more play-based manner to complement each morning's teaching.
