CHILDREN WHO START AHEAD, STAY AHEAD.
About
ACES International Preschool and Childcare Center is revolutionizing early education. We are open year round, providing care for infants to age 5. Children are grouped by age ranges to support early learning and development and to ensure age appropriate learning progressions. All of our programs are play-based and encourage relationship building, exploration, discovery, inquiry, and creativity. Our program teaches Spanish as a second language to children, ages 3-5. Through our fun, engaging, and stress-free lessons filled with music, games, and a wide variety of carefully planned activities, children learn Spanish easily and naturally. Children have the opportunity to explore our Outdoor Classroom, where they gain insights into the natural world, encompassing living organisms and the environment. This experience fosters a sense of reverence for animals and the planet. Throughout the day, the children in our program engage in artistic exploration in our art room, where they have access to a variety of art supplies and tools to freely express their creativity.
The ACES International Preschool and Childcare Center teaching and learning methods are based on years of experience and knowledge. Our focus is on making learning fun, small groups, and positive reinforcement. Every class is designed with various activities to cater to every learning style. Our unique learning materials feature original stories, songs, and animations to make learning joyful and inspiring.Â
Our Programs
Discover a world of learning. Our dedicated team creates a nurturing space where curiosity is sparked, friendships blossom, and young minds thrive. Our curriculum often revolves around thematic units that integrate various subjects, fostering a holistic approach to learning. Themes may include seasons, animals, community helpers, and more. Regular group activities, such as circle time, involve discussions, storytelling, and interactive learning experiences. These activities promote communication skills, listening, and group participation. All of our classrooms are purposefully designed spaces that promote a balance of structured learning and play-based activities, fostering the social, emotional, and cognitive development of young children in a safe and engaging setting.
Our Infant Program provides infants with individualized loving care. Our caregivers are experienced and knowledgeable about children’s developmental needs. Our Infant rooms are comfortable, safe, and stimulating. We provide gentle colors and age-appropriate toys that are strategically placed to encourage exploration and stimulate the infants' developing senses.
