Children learn best through play
Our programs apply this philosophy to support our preschoolers’ cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. In a fun, relaxed, and nurturing environment, our students learn through play, games, exploration, songs, music, arts and crafts, and lots of movement. Our large facilities offer ample indoor and outdoor learning areas, perfect for a school offering full- and part-time preschool and extended care.
Cementing a strong social-emotional and academic foundation
At ChiCeLaCu, we work to cement a strong foundation in key areas, including early writing, reading, math, science, and critical thinking. At ChiCeLaCu, we work to cement a strong foundation in key areas, including early literacy, math, science, and critical thinking. Social and emotional development is addressed through various activities where children work and play together, learn to share, take turns, and resolve conflicts. Children graduating from our preschools leave with a solid foundation in Spanish and in all critical areas and are ready to succeed in any kindergarten program and beyond.
Developing fine and gross motor skills
Through various interactive and fun-filled activities held both indoors and outdoors, children develop and strengthen age-appropriate fine and gross motor skills. Teachers focus on developing proper pincer, pencil and scissor grip in addition to modeling proper writing posture. Given the obvious (and not so obvious) benefits of learning to write in brain development, ChiCeLaCu! places a strong emphasis on this basic yet critical skill. Through dance, theater and targeted physical movement, ChiCeLaCu! facilitates self-expression while supporting motor and cognitive development.
Spanish Immersion
ChiCeLaCu welcomes all preschoolers regardless of Spanish language exposure. Preschoolers learn to use their words to express their emotions, feelings, needs and wants while also being considerate of others and learning to get along. Language and literacy development, the cornerstone of communication and socialization, are addressed through activities that combine playing, talking, listening, reading, and center activities. We work to increase a preschooler’s Spanish vocabulary and improve overall communication. Children who graduate from the preschool program are invited to participate in ChiCeLaCu’s Saturday School for Heritage and Highly Proficient Speakers.
