We Give Children the Tools for Resiliency
10 months – 7 years
Our program offers safety, love, play, nature-science, and the grounding of yoga. All this while building multilingualism. Morningside Immersion is preparing children for a future where human-to-human cross-cultural communication is globally valued.
We are a 95% Mandarin and Spanish immersion program. Morningside PlayCare’s distinctive play-based and nature-based curriculum was inspired by Waldorf education, Flying Deer Nature Center, and its founder’s love of yoga.
In 2015 Mom/Educator, Gail Foster, approached leaders in the field of early childhood education and linguistics with a vision: Let’s establish a model nursery school specifically designed to tap the emerging neuroscience on the linguistic genius of the young brain. With support from scholars and practitioners, Dr. Foster recruited Columbia affiliated families with toddlers to collaborate in the start-up of an early childhood program that would give their children the gift of multilingualism.
At Morningside PlayCare children are taught in Mandarin and Spanish which leads to the natural acquisition of multiple languages as children play and are nurtured by our caring staff. Give your child the gift of a second or third language. Give your child the confidence that comes with being able to speak international languages. Prepare your child for the future.
We work to create
cultural and economic diversity,
across families and staff.
