Social-Emotional Guidance To Teach Self-Regulation, Respect, & Kindness

A Dual-Language Advantage With English/Spanish Immersion

All your child’s classroom activities take place in English and Spanish, to give them an early bilingual advantage. Young children soak up language like a sponge, giving them a communication and cognitive boost that lasts a lifetime.

Daily Outdoor Playtime In Generous Yards & Gardens

Epic playground adventures are the norm with daily playtime in large, age-level yards and gardens. Your child runs, climbs, tends the veggies, and makes up games with friends as they exercise their muscles and gross motor skills.

Yoga, Soccer, Gymnastics, & More To Enrich Their Learning

Your child learns life science with regular gardening lessons, and forms crucial mind-body connections with yoga every Friday, included in your tuition. For even more physical activity and discipline, add Monday soccer and/or Tuesday gymnastics for small activity fees.

FAQs

I'm a parent, and I'm not bilingual - will this be an issue?

NOT AT ALL! Most of our parents aren’t bilingual – but many pick up many words and phrases from their children! So if you’ve ever wanted to learn Spanish, you get a little fringe benefit of having your child attend Citrus Park Day School!

If my child goes to an English school later, will they be behind?

Actually it’s the opposite – studies show that learning 2 languages at a young age creates new neural pathways in the brain which has all sorts of benefits, including a greater ability to focus and task switching – both critical life skills that are a huge advantage in school and future work!

Should I start with my baby or wait until they are a toddler or preschooler?

The younger you start with a second (or third!) language, the easier it will be for your child, and the greater the benefits.
