About our Program

Our STEAM based Spanish bilingual program provides developmentally appropriate materials and activities for the whole child. We teach children ages 18 mos - 5yrs. The activities are set up with intention and supports emergent curriculum. Hands-on learning will be balanced with planned and child centered activities.

We want children in our program to learn fundamental skills for cooperation, teamwork, and mindfulness; and feel safe and confident while at school. At our School children learn at their own pace and work with the materials of their interests in a diverse setting.

At Dream Big Little One we offer many materials for the children to explore and discover their form and function and lead them to building their critical thinking skills, language, imagination, curiosity, and problem solving skills. To see the children learn new skills and grow is very valuable to us!

We celebrate books and incorporate them into our everyday learning experiences. Connecting children through literacy to the world around them provides them with a special connection and a personal relationship to daily life, nature, and an appreciation of the complexity of living things.

APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE

At our school we use positive reinforcement and guidance. We believe that children need to be taught and guided through difficult and frustrating situations. We model appropriate behavior and talk about the importance to use our words to express emotions, problem solve, and develop conflict-resolution skills.

We believe in promoting self-confidence in little ones by empowering them as they learn their strengths and develop their own personalities!

MEAL TIME

During mealtimes we all come together at the meal table! We value diversity and different cultures so we encourage families to provide a healthy lunch meal for their children. During this time children can talk about the variety of foods they bring from home. Please know that PEANUT PRODUCTS are not allowed at school due to allergies.

We provide two healthy and nutritious snacks per day: morning and afternoon snack. If your child has a food allergy please let us know so that we can provide an alternative choice.

Nutrition is an important part in a child’s growth!
