Question 1

Philosophy

Accepted Answer

At Canguros, we believe in educating the whole child. Our holistic approach blends social-emotional learning with strong academic foundations, meaningful exposure to the arts, and a deep connection to nature.

We recognize that children learn best when they feel safe, confident, and connected. By nurturing emotional regulation, creativity, self-confidence, and relationships with themselves, others, and the natural world, we help children develop a deeper understanding of who they are and how they fit into the world around them.

This integrated approach creates a strong foundation for lifelong learning, curiosity, and personal growth.

Question 2

Our Learning Environments

Accepted Answer

Our learning environments promote:
 • Play-based learning
 • Interest-led exploration
 • Creativity, curiosity, and competence

Children are naturally capable learners. Our role as educators is to guide them—providing safety, structure, and freedom to explore the world around them.

Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to support children at every stage of development. Unlike a traditional classroom, we offer a variety of flexible seating options, immersive learning centers, and calming, intentional colors and aesthetics. Each space is created with sensory needs in mind and includes cozy corners where children can regulate, rest, or reset as needed. Our environment is intentionally arranged to promote independence, confidence, and choice—empowering children to explore, engage, and take ownership of their learning in a way that feels safe and supportive.

Question 3

Our Teaching Style

Accepted Answer

Our teaching style is whole-child centered, gentle and intentional, combining explicit instruction, guided learning experiences, and child-led play to honor each child’s development and curiosity.

Question 4

What We Do

Accepted Answer

At Canguros, we provide a bilingual (Spanish - English) education that nurtures social-emotional development, positive mental health, and academic growth.

Through developmentally appropriate instruction, play, hands-on projects, dual language immersion, and meaningful connections to art and nature, we support children in building confidence, curiosity, and independence throughout their entire learning journey.

Our intentionally designed environments and relationship-based approach create a safe, engaging space where children feel seen, supported, and excited to learn every day. We maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio - averaging 1:6 to ensure each child receives individualized attention, care, and support.

Question 5

Why We Do It

Accepted Answer

We believe every child deserves love, security, and the freedom to explore both independence and interdependence.

Children who experience rich, supportive environments—and who feel both grounded in themselves and connected to community—are more likely to develop a healthy sense of self. From that place of wholeness comes confidence, empathy, and lifelong growth.

Our heart is to nurture children who understand what it means to live holistically: connected to themselves, others, and the world for a greater purpose.

Rooted in Connection. Designed for the Whole Child.
