Our little yogis are back in action, kicking off the year with smiles, giggles, and a whole lot of zen! We’ve woven the magic of mindfulness into their first yoga class, and the joy is simply contagious.
Witness the pure bliss on their faces as they explore new poses and embrace the art of balance. Our pint-sized yogis are already proving that they’re masters of both laughter and tranquility!
Engaging your baby in Spanish from birth is a wonderful idea, and it offers numerous benefits for their cognitive, social, and linguistic development. Whether you’re a native Spanish speaker or simply interested in raising a bilingual child, there are compelling reasons to start early.
We work on the “one person, one language” system. The English staff will only speak English and the Spanish staff will only speak Spanish.
