Aprenda Preschool believes in a bilingual way of
learning. Childrens learning experience is expanded
through the combination of play and exposure to a
new language. We believe that diversity of language
is a strength that can be used to enhance the
learning experience of children. Likewise, Aprenda
Preschool recognizes that all forms of family
diversity play an important role in the learning
process, and we support all types of families.
Aprenda Preschool values the diversity of family
culture and language. We acknowledge that not all
families share the same beliefs, but together we are
stronger. We welcome families with different social
and economic backgrounds. We advocate and
support children with special needs and special
family circumstances. All families are equally
welcome. We proudly ensure that children will
achieve their potential with the support of families,
staff and community.
