Discover Valle de Niños
Mission
Our bilingual program is a rich resource for parents as well as children. By scheduling monthly parent gatherings at Valle de Niños, parents can meet and discuss child development and build community.
Our bilingual program will teach children English and Spanish through reading, singing, and daily activities.
Philosophy
Children learn the best through play by experiencing and experimenting in a safe, secure, nurturing environment.
Through our nature play- based curriculum children develop their social, cognitive and language skills. There are several outlets for reading books, music, art, cooking, and gardening. By facilitating these experiences, children become engaged, independent learners.
