A Day at Little Roots Preschool:Calm, Joyful, and Full of Discovery

Mornings begin with gentle arrivals, outdoor free play, and connection circles in both English and Spanish. Children choose activities that ignite their curiosity—gardening, nature art, building with natural materials, water and sand play, or movement games that develop gross motor skills.

Throughout the day, educators guide child-led investigations

We ask open-ended questions, and support cooperative play. Meals and snacks are shared community moments where language flows naturally. Afternoons include storytelling, music, sensory bins, and extended outdoor exploration.

Our approach honorsthe rhythm of childhood

Slowing down to notice bugs, leaves, and weather changes
Getting messy with clay, paint, mud, and water
Practicing kindness, waiting turns, and solving conflicts with empathy
Moving freely, climbing, digging, and experiencing the joy of physical play

Every element is intentional, calibrating challenge and support so each child flourishes.

Why Bilingual Matters

Bilingual Advantage:English + Spanish From the Start

Research shows that early bilingual exposure strengthens brain development, improves focus, and builds cultural empathy. At Little Roots Preschool, English and Spanish are woven seamlessly into daily life—not as separate "lessons," but as living languages.

Children pick up vocabulary naturally through:

Bilingual storytelling and rhyme time
Songs, chants, and movement games in both languages
Peer conversations and cooperative projects
Gentle, supportive guidance from bilingual educators

When you choose a Bilingual Preschool Chula Vista family, you're investing in your child's cognitive, social, and emotional future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely love Little Roots, I stayed home with my son for almost two years and was so nervous for him to start daycare. But the little roots teachers have made the transition as smooth as possible for my son. As soon as we toured little roots we knew this is where we wanted our son to go. The environment is so welcoming and fun for the kids and I would recommend little roots if you’re looking for a safe loving environment for your kiddos.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing Little Roots as our daughter’s daycare/preschool is the best decision we could have made. Not only does she absolutely love it there (always asking to go to school), her development  improved exponentially within weeks. She has acquired social skills, independence, the love of reading, singing and
dancing, and she has even learned how to say thank you and clean up after herself. All of the teachers have such a loving nature and so much patience. They have even helped during the difficult time of potty training 🤯 Leaving your child with anyone can be scary but I feel completely at ease knowing she is in the best care and learning through play.   It feels like she is with family. 1000% recommend Little Roots Daycare.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the most important decision i’ve made is choosing a place to care for my daughter.  With that being said, I couldn’t be happier with Little Roots.

I’m completely at peace knowing she is surrounded by loving and nurturing teachers.   The growth my daughter has made with her vocabulary, social skills is nothing short of amazing.

She truly enjoys the outdoor activities, sensory learning and yoga so much that she asks to
to go on the weekend's.

If you are looking for a place to nurture, build your child’s knowledge and confidence this is the place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had my son in Little Roots for almost two years now, and I honestly would never go anywhere else. I never have a worry when he is with Ms. Jessy and all of the amazing teachers at Little Roots. From their curriculum, their culture, the fact that they are bilingual, the list of benefits of having your child here goes on and on. I can’t say enough amazing things about Little Roots, and if you are debating if this is a good place for your son or daughter, don’t think twice. They are THE BEST.
