Early Childhood Programs
We provide a preschool program with emphasis on hands-on learning opportunities designed to enhance development in all areas: moral, social-emotional, intellectual, artistic, and physical. Skilled, nurturing teachers support children in the development of their socialization skills and in their quest to learn about the world by establishing a relaxed, friendly routine to ease the separation process between child and parent/caregiver. During this impressionable time of discovery in their young lives, students are cherished and valued by their teachers and the staff of Monica Ros who help them experience successful interactions with their peers and other adults. We recognize each child as a unique individual engaged in the process of learning, and our dedicated staff seeks to fully support this individual growth.

Blue or Red Room?
What’s right for my child?
We’re excited to partner with you in determining the best starting point for your child’s educational journey. Our early childhood teachers will recommend placement based on their knowledge of your child, classroom observations, and developmental progress throughout the year.
Room placement is individualized and considers several factors, including age, social-emotional development, learning readiness, and each child’s unique needs. Some children progress through the Green, Blue, and Red Rooms before entering Kindergarten. Others move directly from the Green Room to the Red Room, while some transition from the Blue Room into Kindergarten. Our goal is to place each child in the environment where they will feel confident, supported, and appropriately challenged.
