Early Childhood Education

Many Bachman Lake children come from low income, Spanish speaking households where statistically, they have heard 30 million fewer words than the average affluent American child by the time they enter kindergarten.

This “Word Gap” puts children at a lifelong disadvantage academically, economically, and socially. Our Early Childhood Education program is laying a strong foundation in the lives of the preschool children who attend our classes. Besides classroom time with the children, our staff also works with parents to equip them to create a home environment that will give their children the best possible start in school.

Nearly 40% of Children in neighborhood schools are not considered “school ready” when they enter kindergarten.

Casa del Lago utilizes a structured early childhood education program to address the critical language gaps and pre-literacy deficits while instilling a love of learning. Our curriculum also uses crafts and group play to help children improve their fine and gross motor skills needed for success in kindergarten and beyond. 

Our Early Childhood Education program focuses on four areas of development for our students:

• Health and Motor 

• Social -Emotional 

• Cognitive 

• Language & Literacy

Every aspect of our programs, including the games, songs, and hands-on activities, are designed to develop the students in these four areas, with specific benchmarks targeted for each age group.
