Programs

Early Steps Bilingual Academy serves children 18 months – 5 yrs old in a dynamic, loving “English/Spanish” environment.  Full Day and Half Day programs are available.  Our students work together in authentic learning situations both in and out of the classrooms.  We focus on early literacy in science, math and social studies.  Instruction is delivered in Spanish by college-degreed, experienced, native Spanish speaking teachers.  It is not necessary to have a Spanish background to start our program.

In order to create diverse learning opportunities, we have established flexible schedules which include a balance of large and small group experiences, teach and child initiated activities and opportunities for individualized instruction.  The maximum class size is 10 students.
