Preschool
A nurturing bilingual environment where children learn through play, creativity, and hands-on experiences while building a strong foundation for primary school.
A Place to Grow, Learn, and Belong
Our preschool at Sámara Pacific School is a place where children can thrive and learn every day.
With our preschool program we nurture the children with an optimal mix of indoor and outdoor play, creative stimulation, and academic preparation for primary school. At our preschool classes are conducted in both English and Spanish, and focus on developing students for future academic success. Students are involved in group activities, story-time, and use art to help them begin their understanding of letters, sounds, numbers and basic math concepts.
Our preschool provides a nurturing bilingual environment where children learn through play, creativity, and hands-on experiences while building a strong foundation for primary school.

Teaching with Empathy and Respect
A fundamental part of our educational point of view is that we do not believe in punishment or time-outs, but in the action-cause effect explained to children, always using the method of empathy and feelings.
