A Note From The Owner
As the owner and main caregiver, I'm committed to creating a high-quality, safe, and loving childcare and preschool facility. I want my space and early learning program to reflect professionalism, embrace diverse cultures, and meet the unique needs of each child. My passion for teaching led me to open this daycare, and I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of young children. Emery Heights Bilingual Playhouse welcomes infants, toddlers, and preschoolers between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old. We operate Monday to Friday, from 7:30 AM to 5:45 PM, offering flexibility to local families.
Our Mission & Philosophy
We understand that choosing the right daycare for your little one is a crucial decision. At Emery Heights Bilingual Playhouse, our mission is to create a space where learning is exciting, families are supported, and children blossom into confident, compassionate individuals. We're dedicated to providing a safe, healthy, and respectful environment. Our philosophy revolves around helping children explore, learn, and thrive in a positive and loving atmosphere. We use a bilingual teaching method, teaching both English and Spanish as we go about our daily activities, so that children automatically learn the new language, along with a cultural immersion.
Our Curriculum & Daily Activities
We follow a well-structured early education and preschool curriculum that blends learning with fun activities, to provide a strong foundation for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers alike. Our approach incorporates the creative curriculum, and we offer activities that are specifically designed to help each child learn based on their individual strengths and learning abilities. For instance, infants fingerpaint with their hands as they learn to hold a brush and crayons. A typical day at Emery Heights Bilingual Playhouse begins with a warm welcome, and free play, followed by breakfast, circle time, singing, and nursery rhymes. Outdoor play at the nearby playground is a highlight (weather permitting), promoting physical activity and social interaction. After physical activities, we enjoy lunch, followed by a restful nap time. In the afternoon, we enjoy story time and engage in learning activities until it's time to clean up and prepare for pick-up. We have art activities every day and children bring their work back home to their parents.

This is a very sweet and loving caregiver. My son loves her and loves to go to her daycare. When I come to pick him up, he never wants to leave so much he is having a good time there! I totally recommend her daycare.

We love these caregivers! our son started at only 3 months old and has learned so much and grown a lot since attending. It is comforting as a parent to be able to know we are leaving our child in such caring hands. The owner gives us real time updates and shares photos often with our boy having a good time and learning as well as a detailed review of everyday during pickup.

She makes me feel at ease. This was my first experience using daycare for childcare and I had some anxiety going into the process of searching for one. My baby bonded to her quickly and at pick up she is very communicative about how the day went, and details about what she did, how and what she ate, slept, temperament, etc. I am really happy with this fit and am so glad we found her!

This was the first daycare that my son has gone to so it was a big decision choosing the right place that we trust. The owner is incredibly kind and patient, and my son loves her (he blows kisses to her as we leave!). We receive a summary sheet of what they did every day and pictures via text during the day, and I appreciate knowing what's going on. I highly recommend!

I have found that my daughter Maliha-Marie has done so well. Since she has such a caring and structured environment, it has made a difference in her behavior and is comfortable with going away from mommy. she's started at the age of 2yrs old and now is 3yrs old. Her language skills on Spanish and English has greatly improved. I also have become more comfortable with leaving my child with the teacher's there, with knowing she's in good hands and safe.

Found this caregiver through mutual friends and acquired her childcare services for my daughter. Her enthusiasm and dedication to teach made transitioning to PK5 easier on all of us. I would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy childcare services.

I am very happy with the care provided by this day care, since I have had the experience with my first child in the attention they have given them and the learning that my son has had with their care, and I will continue to have it as my first obsession so that My second son also began his early childhood with this provider, who is a good teacher, loving and responsible.

I couldn’t have found a better place for my daughter! I was so worried about the idea of leaving my daughter in someone’s else hands but I found this home daycare. The owner has taken care of kylie for over 6 months. She is 16 months now and we are very happy with my husband to see the owner taking care of her like her own daughter always in a safe, loving and clean environment. I would highly recommend to anyone this place.
