Casa Silvestre Daycare: Openings for 2+ Year Olds - Laurel / Mills College
Are you searching for a warm, nurturing, and creative environment for your little one?
Casa Silvestre Spanish Immersion Preschool & Daycare, located near the Laurel and Mills College neighborhoods in Oakland, has full-time and part-time spots available for children aged 2 to 5 years!
At Casa Silvestre, we provide a Waldorf-inspired, bilingual program that blends the best of STEAM education, yoga, and play-based learning to nurture the whole child—mind, body, and well-being. Our unique approach fosters creativity, emotional growth, and a love for learning through hands-on activities, outdoor play, and full Spanish immersion.
What Makes Casa Silvestre Special?
- Spanish Immersion: Your child will be immersed in Spanish through songs, stories, and daily interactions, building a strong foundation for bilingualism.
- Waldorf Meets STEAM: We combine Waldorf-inspired practices like storytelling, art, and nature-based play with STEAM activities that spark curiosity and critical thinking.
- Yoga and Mindfulness: Daily yoga and mindfulness activities help children develop body awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of calm.
- Age-Appropriate Care: Our daycare and preschool programs are run separately but harmoniously in the same space. Infants and toddlers (6 months-2 years) engage in sensory play and early language exposure, while preschoolers (2-5 years) explore more structured activities like STEAM projects and cultural enrichment.
Our Approach to Care
- Potty Learning: Inspired by Dr. Becky’s Good Inside method, we work collaboratively with families to create a supportive and nurturing potty learning process.
- Nutritious Meals: We provide all meals and snacks, exceeding California’s nutritional guidelines. Using the Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) method, we introduce children to whole foods in a safe and engaging way, encouraging self-feeding and fostering a positive relationship with food.
- Outdoor Exploration: Our shaded backyard offers endless opportunities for outdoor fun, movement, and connection with nature.
Convenient Location
We are conveniently located near Havenscourt, with easy access to the Laurel and Mills College neighborhoods. Dedicated parking makes drop-offs and pick-ups stress-free.
