At Escondido Tender Care, we believe in fostering a love of learning that empowers children to reach their full potential. We create a nurturing environment that sparks curiosity, ignites creativity, and celebrates the unique journey of each child.

Cultivating a Growth Mindset

We understand that education is a lifelong adventure, and the early years are foundational. We provide a rich tapestry of experiences that blend child-centered learning with age-appropriate exploration.  Like Montessori schools, our classrooms offer a variety of materials that encourage children to learn at their own pace and explore their interests.

Exploration Through the Senses

Similar to the Reggio Emilia approach, we believe that exploration is a powerful learning tool.  We incorporate sensory experiences into our curriculum, allowing children to discover the world around them through touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste.  This multi-sensory approach fuels a natural curiosity and deepens understanding.

The Power of Imagination

Inspired by Waldorf education, we recognize the importance of imagination and creative play.  We provide opportunities for children to express themselves freely through art, music, storytelling, and dramatic play.  These experiences nurture empathy, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

A World of Wonder

Just like the classrooms in Waldorf schools that change with the seasons, we believe in transforming our environment to inspire curiosity.  By changing our classroom scenery monthly, we offer children fresh opportunities to explore new themes and concepts.

Preparing for Life’s Adventures

Our goal is not just to prepare children for kindergarten, but to equip them with the skills they need to thrive in life.  Through exploration, play, and discovery, they develop critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills – essential tools for navigating the world around them.

At Escondido Tender Care, we believe that every child is a masterpiece waiting to be unveiled. We provide the tools and environment to nurture their inherent potential and ignite a lifelong passion for learning.
