About Us

Playing vs Research

• We are prepared to foster their inquisition into the imaginative world through dramatic play, creation, and expressivity through the arts.
• We expose children to meaningful experiences full of emotions, surprises, and fun.

Holistic Development

• We target each area of development through activities designated to foster parallel development and at your child’s pace and level of interest.
• Toddlers are now exploring dexterity, positional concepts, and gross-motor development is far outweighing fine-motor development.

Mindset

• By targeting cognitive development through their particular interests, they are more susceptible to making the synaptic connections faster and stronger so they may explore other areas of development.

Innovation & Creativity

• Toddlers are growing more and more confident in their newly discovered abilities and becoming more explorative with each passing day.

VESS Citizen

• Our children are Citizens of the world; they want to make themselves felt through verbal and non-verbal communication; our teachers are highly qualified to generate that respect and connect with each child.

Building Knowledge

• Concentration is the game at this stage!
• Their attention span is beginning to increase, and they are showing more ability to concentrate on the details of what the teacher is saying or doing so they may try by themselves.
• At this stage, we work with emotions and independence.
• An important area is to help them understand and identify their wants from their needs.

• Social interaction is essential at this age. We work with them individually and in groups, teaching them to manage their emotions to resolve differences and conflicts, share, respect, have empathy, compassion, and learn to collaborate.

Building Knowledge

• With their increasing sense of independence, we use special techniques during each activity to help them be taught and learn from other students, develop a positive self-image and self-esteem, and maintain the right amount of confidence as their journey through the toddler years begins to transition into a more autonomous three-year-old.

Playing vs Research

• Our playground is designed for climbing rock walls, exploring yoga, riding their tricycles while gaining an understanding of the road rules, and reaching cognitive milestones as they practice going up and down the steps and alternating their feet

Holistic Development

• At this stage, it is critical to help them develop personal interests and enhance the love of learning through their interests and positive emotions.
• Three-year-olds are also much more confident in their motor skills and development.

Mindset

• Children find the power that communication has through language, which is reinforced and empowered.
• Children become active protagonists of their learning process. They take an active role in everything that is done; they are challenged continuously intellectually, based on their interests, in community, and with an entrepreneurial spirit.

Innovation & Creativity

• 3-year olds have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and challenge; their gross motor skills are now highly developed and ready for adventure.

VESS Citizen

• Thanks to social interaction, and exposure, they learn the Cause-Effect and the consequences of their actions.
• They learn that diversity exists and that we all learn, support, and collaborate.

Building Knowledge

• At BIA, we have developed an inquisitive culture for little thinkers to grow with their questions, unique interests, and valuable problem-solving skills that give rise to a lifelong passion for learning through exploration and discovery.
• The development of pre-reading and pre-writing is given with a meaning, where they find value in what they are learning.

Playing vs Research

• Through a variety of exciting play-centered learning opportunities and a rich Language of Thinking, our educators create daily intellectual challenges.

Holistic Development

• By making their thinking visible, we offer them a tangible way to solve not just the problems we expose them to, but the problems they will encounter when long gone from our academy.

Mindset

• Now that your 4-5 year old can carry on a conversation in more depth than before, we are using these moments as valuable learning opportunities. Our thinking routines are designed to allow for their input, to help them understand their thought process and the logic they used to come up with an idea, answer, or hypothesis.

Innovation & Creativity

• We embrace their creativity as they extrapolate from ideas gained from hearing a story and build up a vocabulary that is increasing daily in both Spanish and English.
• We expose children to enriching activities, where there are permanent intellectual challenges and different technologies.

VESS Citizen

• Our daily schedules at BIA are designed to help the growing four years old understand very powerful concepts of time, sequence, and making predictions. We value their need for routines, and we help them plan for the anticipated, and the unexpected.

Building Knowledge

• When developing advanced literacy skills, we focus on children’s understanding of how these amplify their power to communicate what matters to them.
• Four-year-olds are making more one-to-one correspondence. They can verbally express their feelings and understand the concept of cause and effect. From here, we are using our thinking routines to help them understand concepts such as inferential reading, helping them develop a sense of foresight and hindsight, and re-tell a story using the language of literature.
