Learning at Future Prints
Future Prints Childcare its a dual-language program.
Our bilingual teachers immerse children in Spanish in a way that is fun and age-appropriate and uses an award-winning curriculum.
As the children play and explore, we will immerse them in the Spanish language. If they remain in our program, we may immerse them in another language, taking advantage of the brain’s amazing capacity to acquire language in early childhood.
In our program, we use “The Creative Curriculum” which supports effective teaching and the children’s development and learning.
We provide a balance between choice and structured activities, which include circle time, arts & crafts, science, reading /literacy & numeracy, colors, shapes, pretend play, sensory play, outdoor play, visits to our local library among many other activities. We also work closely with parents to achieve individual goals.
We teach our children life skills that go beyond reading, writing, and math. Our goal is for each child to developed social, emotional, physical, and intellectual skills, while in our care.
We never miss an opportunity to educate. Everything that happens in our classroom is a learning opportunity, from interactions and meals to singing and playing.
Extracurricular activities are also part of our weekly schedule; Yoga, Dance and Movement, and many others.
