Our Vision
At Alebrijes Home Preschool, our mission is to provide every child with the ultimate early childhood experience in a safe, loving, and dynamic environment. We are dedicated to nurturing the whole child through art, music, and community exploration, including regular trips to the park and library.
We are committed to fostering independence, supporting social-emotional growth, and enhancing every area of child development. We work from the heart to ensure that every child graduates from our program fully bilingual, confident, and ready to thrive in Kindergarten.
Our Educational Approach: How We Teach Spanish Naturally
At Alebrijes Home Preschool, we don’t teach Spanish through vocabulary lists or flashcards. We teach it naturally and organically through the environment, everyday routines, and creative activities using a deliberate three-step language strategy during play:
"I Describe What I Am Doing": While we play or build, I narrate my own actions out loud. This provides students with rich, contextual vocabulary in real-time.
"I Describe What You Are Doing": I observe the students' play and narrate their actions, expanding their language skills by adding new, descriptive words to what they are already experiencing.
"I Ask Open-Ended Questions": I invite curiosity and critical thinking by asking questions like "I wonder what will happen next?" (¿Me pregunto qué pasará después? What if? Why? How? ), encouraging them to express themselves.
🎨 Hand-in-Hand Art & Projects
For our art and creative projects, I sit alongside the students. I guide them through each project step-by-step, describing every action slowly and clearly while modeling it with my hands. I provide personalized support, helping students one-on-one whenever they need a hand, ensuring a stress-free and successful creative experience.
