La Plazita Preschool's curriculum is a mix of instructor led, play based, montessori, Reggio Emilia and other curriculums we have merged to create our own. As an immersion school we also employ a multitude of langauge acquisition techniques to ensure language learning.

We integrate the key components of science, social sciences and math in all of our themes.

Our curriculum has strong early literacy components that get children writing and reading early on.

Our teachers are trained well on language modeling in order to promote not just language understanding but full vocalization even if Spanish is not spoken at home.
