Care Play Education Center

Curriculum
At Care Play Education Center, we believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful connections. Our curriculum combines STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with a strong bilingual approach in English and Spanish, ensuring children grow academically, socially, and culturally.
Every day, children are encouraged to ask questions, solve problems, and express themselves — while being immersed in two languages that broaden their world and prepare them for the future.
