OPEN TOUR INFORMATION

  • Please let us know if you will be attending: angie@escuela-viva.com.
  • Attending an open tour without your child is truly in your child's best interest.

Your child will want to freely explore and you will want to listen and ask questions. Children require more supervision than you will be able to give during an open house (and be able to walk away with the information you seek).

  • Open Tours are a great way to learn more about our program.

We do not typicallly offer individual tours to families as this can be a disruption for our children and their classroom experience.



Any questions can be directed to the director:

Angie Garcia
angie@escuela-viva.com

Open Tours are held regularly (see Calendar).

NEW STUDENT TUITION RATES:

Development is a very dynamic process. A child comes into the world fully equipped to learn all that they will learn in their life-time. Providing a loving and nurturing environment that takes into account all of their needs is also a dynamic process. Caregivers must be attuned to the ever-changing needs of the children in their care. The quality of the care your child will receive is dependant upon this! Our tuition rates are based upon the staffing required to provide the highest quality of care throughout your child’s tenure at Escuela Viva. Our classrooms have lower ratios of teachers to students, that is reflected in the tuition rates.

As we are an early childhood program providing the highest of quality care designed to support your child's development, staff require regular planning time as well as time to plan their own vacations. Our center is closed 3 weeks out of the year, with a handfull of teacher planning days (in-service days), 4 days for parent teacher conferences and holiday closures. These closures allow teachers the necessary time to plan vacations and planning/preparation days while creating the least amount of staffing disruptions. We are sensitive to parents need for child care, as such we will be supporting a blog section on our new website so that parents can plan child-care swaps during these closures.

All tuitions are based on a 49 week school year.
