About the Provider

Description: Semillitas Early Learning Center was founded on the belief that all children are unique individuals who are naturally curious and eager to grow and learn. Children need to be provided with an organized, child-directed learning environment that emphasizes mutual respect, fun, discovery, literacy and addresses sensory needs.

We bring experienced, energized teachers together in a supportive, collaborative environment to provide the conditions for babies, toddlers and preschoolers to thrive.

Additional Information: Quality Rating: Bronze *; Mission: As stated in our name: Semillitas (the word for "little seeds" in Spanish), believes that a small seed has all the potential in their DNA to form it's unique way to grow. The same way each child coming into our center, brings within all their potential to grow, learn and develop in life. All we need to do is to respect and cultivate their interests to encourage their natural curiosity. This is why, our most important mission is to create a stimulating, nurturing, values-rich environment for children of varied backgrounds to learn, grow, and thrive, while celebrating Spanish language and Latin American culture. In order to meet the needs of all our students, we have created a Spanish immersion program complemented by the use of a blended curriculum which combines the use of genius Montessori's materials, creative curriculum and Reggio Emilia pedagogy. This allows us to offer children a nurturing environment that balances freedom to express and work independently or in small groups projects while learning to collaborate and negotiate with other children.;
