Family stories
"Chiqui Preschool & all the teachers has been a blessing to our family"
Mary
Mother
We cultivate a nurturing environment where every child's potential is cherished and celebrated. Grounded in play-based learning and guided by dedicated educators, we foster a lifelong love for learning, while nurturing social-emotional skills and fostering a sense of belonging within our vibrant community.
Together, we lay the foundation for a future filled with boundless possibilities.
Family stories
"The teachers constantly go above and beyond to teach, encourage, and love on the kids"
Joanne
Mother
Commited to Excellence
We provide a healthy and safe environment because children learn best when they are healthy, safe, free from hunger, and have loving caregivers.
Consistent daily care and learning experiences in healthy, nurturing, and safe environments foster each child's development.
Family stories
"The teachers are more like family and truly care for our children, help with potty training, and create an environment for fun learning that our kids look forward to going to"
Morgan Moncivais
Mother
Activities
We limit the use of walkers or bouncers because young children need plenty of opportunities to move and play with their natural gross motor skills. Activities such as standing, walking, running, climbing and jumping help develop gross motor skills. Regular physical activity contributes to overall health and fitness.
We are in constant communication with parents about vaccine updates, health changes that children may present for the safety of themselves and other children and caregivers.
Family stories
"They prepared our pre-schooler for success in kindergarten and have an A+ program to help kiddos have an understanding of a school setting"
Morgan Moncivais
Mother
Children need early care and education programs that respect diversity. The age, culture, abilities, education, family mobility, family composition, sexual orientation gender, language, race-ethnicity, region, religion, and socioeconomic status/class; Each of these characteristics make the individual unique.
The caring adults at "Chiqui"-School foster inclusion and acceptance by gaining cultural knowledge about family. This knowledge assists with program practices, including learning key words and phrases from a child's home languages. When a child's cultural and language background are used, learning is more meaningful and effective.
