Horizontal Groups
 

Placing little tots and toddlers into horizontal age groups at Funtazia day care fosters tailored and appropriate learning experiences. It promotes social interaction among peers at similar developmental stages.

Horizontal grouping ensures our teachers can offer age-appropriate activities and challenges and cultivates a supportive environment where children with similar “ages and stages” can thrive together.

School Readiness
 

As children progress to Grasshopper, Dragonfly, and Butterfly classes (2+), they embark on a journey to prepare for school, focusing not only on academic readiness but also on essential soft skills. Through engaging play activities, we guide them in developing crucial social abilities and support their emotional growth, all vital for their transition to "big school."

Testimonials

What do our parents say?

When Olivier attended the group, the teachers observed him and let us know how they could help him grow. Ollie was a little bit behind with rolling and sitting. But they asked us to help him with some exercises. In a short time after he was making immense progress and he got his very first certificate “Ollie rolled over”. We will never forget that moment! We are so thankful.
