We help children thrive by encouraging learning, building confidence and exploring curiosity
The Ortiz EduCare difference
Our curriculum is unique in the way that we do not follow one specific, but yet highlight from our best practice. Most lessons are inspired by rich diverse literature that is then translated into a wonderful teaching moment and experience for the students. It is our goal to raise good little people; make eye contact, be kind, do the ‘coat flip’, peel a cutie and learn a sense of independence that will carry them throughout their lifetime.
Ortiz EduCare incorporates research-based education frameworks that are tailored to each child’s needs
Program highlights
Dynamic enrichment themes
Ortiz EduCare offers a variety of enrichment classes to expand children’s minds and physical development. Your child will participate in music, dance, yoga & art classes throughout the week.
Engaging fieldtrips
We pride ourselves on outdoor time - outside rain or shine! Our goal is for all extracurricular activities to be educational and fun. Children have plenty of room to run and play and exert all that energy their little bodies build up throughout the day.
Wholesome food options
We love food! Through experience, we feel strongly about introducing and supporting healthy food choices. We always have a fresh fruit, healthy grain, all sourced from local farmer’s markets.
Stay connected & informed
The Brightwheel app is an easy way for us to communicate with families by sending notes, reminders, memorable moments, and messages throughout the day.
Our team gravitates towards books, music, art, and science to inspire a love of learning and these skills are interwoven within 7 developmental domains
As your child develops, our educators individualize the experiences and recognize ways to expand learning at their pace to enable a love of learning and growing.
Our staff is always working to understand your child’s individual traits, likes and motivations. They’re better able to find what lights up each child’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
All of our educators are CPR and First-Aid certified.
