Curriculum
Imagina promotes an intellectual, emotional, and social learning approach through play. Your children will be introduced to art, science, sensory development, math, language, social skills, music, and physical skills through a variety of activities. We focus on an interactive experience which engages multiple senses. Blocks, sand, clay, water, story-telling, dramatic play, and outdoor exploration allow children to participate with topics and learning outcomes directly and with an element of fun. This approach recognizes that children process information differently and that incorporating a variety of activities can improve cognitive development, language skills, and social interactions.
When you walk into Imagina you are embraced by a palpable atmosphere of love and community. We are inspired by the Reggio Melia school and education for life approach. We aim to equip your child with a strong sense of security and belonging, capturing their imagination and sense of wonder about the world around them.
Spanish Immersion
At our child care center, we take pride in offering a dynamic and enriching Spanish immersion program for children. Our immersive environment provides young learners with the opportunity to develop their language skills while exploring the vibrant world of Spanish culture. Through a combination of engaging activities, interactive games, and age-appropriate lessons, we create a nurturing space where children can absorb the Spanish language naturally. Early exposure to a second language not only fosters cognitive development but also promotes cultural understanding and open-mindedness, preparing our young learners for a globalized world.
