Philosophy

The Center’s philosophy revolves around recognizing children’s predictable growth stages, emphasizing individuality, and cultural heritage. It provides a stimulating and respectful environment for children’s potential development while enhancing their cultural identity. Furthermore, it embraces holistic development in a nurturing, culturally diverse setting through play-based activities and bilingualism. The philosophy values play as essential for cognitive, emotional, and social skills development, while bilingualism offers a solid foundation for cross-cultural understanding in a multicultural society.

Location

Our program is located in a facility conveniently located on 250 County Lane, Chaparral NM
