Semillitas is a quality early childhood education center
that offers a fun, creative curricula in a nurturing atmosphere where
children are immersed in the Spanish language and introduced to the Latin
culture.
Our
Philosophy
We believe that children are very much like little seeds, full of potential
(hence our name, Semillitas); they develop their cognitive, emotional,
social, and physical skills at a very young age.
Through the
Spanish Immersion program, creative curricula and a multicultural classroom
environment, we aim to help the youngest members of society realize their
potential and blossom into confident, tolerant, autonomous, well-rounded
individuals, who are comfortable but also challenged by who they are,
the world they live in, encouraging a sense of belonging and an understanding
of what it means to live in a diverse community. We aim to empower children
to communicate with and understand others, foster and feed the incredible
desire and ability to learn, solve problems, innovate, invent and play.
We believe
that a strong bond between the children and the care provider is fundamental
for the emotional and social well being of the child. At Semillitas, we
are owner operated: all providers are also partners, personally invested
in the success of the center and rotation of personnel is very rare. If
you have any concerns or suggestions, you can take it right to the top
without an appointment needed.
Our
Mission
Our mission is to exceed parent's expectation in providing care for their
infants and children. We will provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment
utilizing culturally and developmentally appropriate practices.
Our
Vision
Our vision is to serve as the foundation of vibrant, peaceful, diverse
communities. At Semillitas, we provide a bilingual and multicultural early
childhood education where children of different backgrounds share their
strengths and learn to understand and accept their differences. We want
to be a model of child care for the community at large.
Our
Founders
We are a group of seven Latino women who have an education background
and extensive experience working with children. All of us are passionate
about the difference we can make through the bilingual and multicultural
education provided with love. Although we are organized as a PLLC, we
work as a cooperative, where the owners will also be the workers, decisions
are reached by consensus and members are personally invested in the success
of the center.
