To offer an Early Childhood Educational Program

WE INSPIRE STUDENTS TO LEAD ETHICAL AND PRODUCTIVE LIVES THROUGH A COLLEGE PREPARATORY PROGRAM THAT PROMOTES THE PURSUIT OF ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL EXCELLENCE.

Our preschool environment aims to maintain and reinforce our children’s Spanish home language and create a school where parents and children experience collective participation, ecological responsibility, holistic health, and progressive social consciousness. We believe that the experience of diversity (diversity of race, gender, ethnic origin, economics and opinion) creates a rich learning environment and is necessary preparation for living in a diverse world. By cherishing ethnic differences and supporting economic diversity, we create a community that encourages global awareness and social responsibility.
