WELCOME
San Marco Family Childcare and Preschool
At the heart of our curriculum lies a strong commitment to the Reggio Emilia philosophy, where we view each child as capable, curious, and full of potential. Guided by this belief, we embrace a play-based approach that recognizes play as the primary context for learning. Through open-ended exploration, collaborative projects, and creative expression, children construct their own understanding of the world. Our environment acts as a "third teacher," carefully designed to inspire inquiry, foster relationships, and support the natural development of problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking skills. In honoring the voices, ideas, and interests of children, we cultivate a learning community that is joyful, emergent, and deeply respectful of each child's individual journey.

How We Work
With our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy, we understand that each child has unique needs and interests. We provide the environment and tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities.When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave San Marco Family Childcare and Preschool, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.Our goal is to equip children with the skills and confidence they need to successfully take the next step in their learning journey.

Warm and Loving Environment
Children learn best in a fun, nurturing environment that encourages both growth and discovery. During these early years, they begin to develop essential social skills, making it especially important for them to be in a setting that promotes positive interactions, cooperation, and emotional development. Our program is designed to provide that supportive foundation—helping children learn, connect, and thrive together.
Outside Activities
Children enjoy spending time outdoors in a safe, welcoming environment where they can explore, play, and connect with nature. Our outdoor activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage creativity, curiosity, and active learning. As they participate in a variety of hands-on experiences, children strengthen their fine motor skills, enhance coordination, and learn the value of working together. These shared moments help them build teamwork, communication, and confidence—all while having fun in a supportive and nurturing setting.
