About Us
Our Core Values
How We Started
Hi Five DayCare began as a small, home-based program in April 2009. We welcomed
our very first group of five children—and that’s how our name was born.
Our Philosophy
We believe that children are curious beings that learn through play and real-life experiences, they are unique and capable of reaching their full potential. We do not believe in pushing children to achieve developmental or academic milestones.
We do however find that by providing hands on sensory experience, children learn at their own appropriate rate. Learning in a loving environment is not just our tagline, it is the blueprint for our entire educational philosophy.
Our Curriculum
At Hi Five DayCare, children learn Spanish in a natural way—just as they learn their
native language at home—through context and conversation. Along with dual-language
learning, our curriculum is designed to support each child’s growth and development.
Our unique curriculum is designed to provide on-going, developmentally appropriate learning across all age groups. Each program builds upon the previous one, providing optimum growth and learning. We emphasize both cognitive development and the essential social and emotional skills needed for lifelong learning and success.
Our Approach
We embrace diversity and individuality, celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and abilities within our community. Our curriculum is designed to foster holistic development, encompassing cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. We believe in the power of play-based learning as a foundation for exploration and discovery.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to ignite curiosity, encourage creativity, and instill a lifelong love for learning. through hands on experiences, interactive activities, and guided exploration, we empower children to become confident, independent thinkers who are eager to explore the world around them
Our Mission
Our environment surrounds the child in a nurturing and encouraging atmosphere of unlimited potential that builds confidence, self-respect, independence and security, which it contributes to the development and evolution of the child on a physical, emotional, social and cognitive level, providing them with a distinguished early education that prepares them for what comes next.
As Spanish Immersion Early Education, our bilingual education program fosters early cognitive development and teaches a respect for cultural diversity.
