Dual Immersion Kindergarten
A Place Where Young Scholars Thrive.
Ages 5 to 6 years old
At La Casita Day School (LCDS), we are committed to igniting a child's curiosity and passion for learning. Our expert educators and staff carefully design diverse learning activities tailored to meet the unique developmental needs of each child. Our curriculum extends beyond conventional standards by embracing a holistic approach that nurtures the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional dimensions of every student. As a result, LCDS graduates are exceptionally well-equipped to thrive in any academic environment.
Furthermore, instruction at LCDS is primarily conducted in Spanish, enabling students to spend 90 percent of their time learning in Spanish and 10 percent in English. This method fosters bilingual proficiency from an early age.
Additionally, our kindergarten STREAM program integrates Science, Technology, Relationships, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics into a cohesive curriculum. This approach not only champions academic excellence through interactive and hands-on experiences but also places a strong emphasis on developing social skills and emotional intelligence by incorporating 'Relationships' into the core subjects. Our STREAM program is designed to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative skills, preparing children to meet both intellectual and interpersonal challenges ahead. At LCDS, we strive to create an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and empowered to excel.

By incorporating an arts-integrated approach, we can lay a solid foundation for children, not only academically but also in their personal and social capacities, setting them up for a successful educational journey.
Physical Development
Our kindergarten program emphasizes physical development through a variety of dynamic activities designed to promote health and physical fitness. The program includes structured physical education sessions, free play, movement-based learning, and yoga, all aimed at enhancing motor skills, coordination, and overall physical stamina. Yoga specifically contributes to flexibility, balance, and mindfulness, complementing our physical activities. By integrating playful and engaging exercises, we ensure that children not only improve their physical abilities but also develop a lifelong love for active living.
