Golden Aspen Bilingual Preschool is a bilingual (Spanish-English) preschool with a multicultural perspective. Our philosophy is to provide a quality setting that is both enriching and enjoyable. We follow a play-based education philosophy and much of our program is based on the Reggio Emilia approach to Early Childhood Education. We believe children are exclusive persons that develop through exploration and discovery of their own environment and the people around them. Our educational program is based on child development and our goal is to give children a sense of self-worth by helping them develop at their own pace while learning basic skills. We want children to feel confident and secure enough to explore and grow in a stimulating educational, inclusive, diverse, and social environment. Health and nutritionist snacks are included.
