Monte Tavor Infant, Toddler and Preschool Program

Monte Tavor Infant, Toddler and Preschool program is a Spanish Immersion program with an Emergent Curriculum in place that believes in the education of young children and their well being.

Our major emphasis is based in the ability to have young children grow up to be bilingual. We believe in the natural growing abilities of children with the assistance of adults.

The most important aspect of our teaching is that children have the freedom and encouragement of figuring out and building things on their own, while at the same time growing up being sensitive toward others, respecting each other, and expressing their ideas and feelings freely;whether is by drawing, dancing or simply expressing themselves verbally.

We believe in the different developmental stages social, emotional, language, physical and cognitive; but more importantly to have children learn how to resolve conflicts on their own and be socially and emotionally ready to accept challenges among peers.

Our major emphasis is the immerssion of the Spanish language along with music, art, science, literacy, discovery, and exploration.
