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?
Some families choose to have their children attend Green, Blue and Red Rooms prior to Kindergarten. Others head straight from Green to Red, and still others choose to head right to Kindergarten from Blue Room. A child’s room placement depends on a number of factors including their social and developmental needs as well as family logistics (e.g., Red Room requires 5 day attendance) .
We’re excited to partner with you to discuss where you child’s educational journey begins. Your preschool teachers will help guide your child’s placement based on their knowledge and experience with your child throughout the year.
