Curriculum: Preschool teachers play an important role in developing children's interest in learning. Through various techniques and activities, such as games, group play, artwork and music, preschool teachers instruct in reading, writing and basic math concepts. Preschool teachers also encourage creativity and social interaction. While drafting the curriculum for preschoolers, we keep in mind the broad framework set, and the physical and intellectual development of 4 – 5 year olds whose first language is spanish. From reading and art to math and science, preschoolers learn something about everything. Children in preschool benefit from activities that develop vocabulary, comprehension skills, phonological awareness (sensitivity to the sounds of language), alphabet knowledge (knowledge about letter names and letter sounds), and print concepts, etc.
When it comes to the reading curriculum, preschoolers learn, understand and use a wide variety of new words. They learn to read and write and can identify sounds. The math curriculum for preschool includes teaching the little ones to count, measure, identify and create patterns, use number and word symbols, and more. Probably the most fun of all subjects is the art and craft curriculum for preschoolers. Children get a hang of expressing themselves through art, and drawing and coloring activities strengthen their motor development. We provide the grade-level standards and programs, but you will have the freedom and flexibility to use the materials to teach in the way you see fit. Curriculum/Classroom prep is done with a full-time bilingual assistant.

Our location:
We are located in the beautiful coastal town of Cabrera, Dominican Republic; which has a small-town feel but with a very diverse population of both Dominicans as well as seasonal foreigners. There are various amenities such as parks, public transportation, farmers' markets, grocery stores, restaurants, clinics, and pharmacies right here in town, and we are located between two larger cities. The vibrant community and beautiful surroundings also make every day seems like the perfect getaway. The local attractions include numerous beaches, lagoons, and rivers, but the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture is the most rewarding part of living here. In the past, our teachers have participated in youth groups, humane society projects, community recycling/clean-ups, and fine arts workshops and camps.
