Early Childhood Education Re-imagined
Making Children Multilingual
We are a 100% Mandarin and Spanish immersion program. Morningside PlayCare’s distinctive play-based and nature-based curriculum was inspired by Waldorf schools, Flying Deer Nature Center, and 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 solely in Mandarin or Spanish which leads to the natural acquisition of multiple languages in the young brain. Give your child the gift of a second language. Give your child the confidence that comes with being able to speak international languages. Prepare your child for the future.
Children can have fun in any language.
