Orugas (Caterpillars)
Provides a nurturing environment to care for your baby. Our teachers listen and communicate with parents to ensure both the child’s and parent’s needs are met. We are attentive to your baby as important milestones are reached, such as learning to roll over, crawl, walk, smile, babble. Teachers use the Teaching Strategies and the curriculum to ensure your child is learning through educational concepts, social interactions, play, and new experiences. Children are introduced to 100% Spanish immersion during this stage.
