Foreign Language Immersion Early Childhood Center & Preparatory Academy
Preschool in Kissimmee, FL 34747
The mission of our Early Childhood Center is to first and foremost provide a safe nurturing loving high quality educational environment that maximizes intellectual physical and emotional growth and development in our young students from 6 weeks of age up to 5 years of age. Our second most important mission which distinguishes us from other high quality preschool and daycare centers is to foster the acquisition and development of foreign languages as natural secondary languages in addition to English (or any other primary language spoken at home). We do this by immersing our students in Spanish French Mandarin Chinese and/or Arabic throughout the entire time that they attend classes at our school. The qualified teachers assigned to your child’s class are fluent in Spanish French, Mandarin Chinese and/or Arabic and communicate in these languages with the students throughout the day.

The Foreign Language Immersion Early Childhood Center believes that learning and education begins at birth and that every opportunity needs to be provided to a child to learn to gain knowledge, to stimulate the right side of his/her brain and to maximize his/her intellectual development and IQ. In fact we believe that learning even begins in the womb. For this reason we begin our educational program in our infant room. We know that the younger a child is when he or she learns to read, to understand and speak multiple languages, to use a computer, to play music and compute math, the easier it will be for him or her to succeed later in school and in the professional world.
It is well known that kids that start ahead, stay ahead, and children have an insatiable desire to learn. In fact children love to learn and they can learn absolutely anything that can be taught to them in an honest, factual and joyous way. We believe that in order for teaching to be effective, it must always be a joyous process built upon a trusting, loving relationship between the teacher and the child.
It is well established that children learn faster in the first five years of life than at any other time. We believe that young children can do just about anything from understanding and speaking multiple languages, reading, enjoying classical music, identifying birds in the backyard, operating a computer and playing musical instruments just to name a few. It is our goal and passionate desire to provide your child with the knowledge, tools, environment and relationships to do all of these things. Brain growth can be sped up and maximized by increasing the frequency, intensity and duration of visual, auditory and tactile stimulation. Indeed research has established that the more you stimulate your baby’s brain cells from birth to the age of five, the more synapses are made between neurons and the more levels of dendrites are formed.
It can further be enhanced by creating the ideal environment for mobility exploration, language development and manual competence and by providing the maximum opportunity to use that ideal environment. Our goal is to provide that ideal environment to your child. We want your child to be intellectually, socially and physically excellent.
Our mission is to maximize the brain development as well as the physical and social growth of every child enrolled at our center and to provide parents with resources in order to allow them to fully participate in their child’s development and to provide an enriched environment for their child at home consistent with their child’s environment at school.
Our program features a specialized and accelerated curricula taught by well-trained, loving and nurturing teachers. The Foreign Language Immersion Early Childhood Center utilizes teaching methods developed by early learning experts Glenn Doman and Professor Shichida and implemented in early childhood centers throughout Japan.
