Our approach
We follow the questions children ask
Bramble is Reggio-inspired. That is how we describe it: teachers listen, write down what children say and try, and plan the next day from it. We are not certified by anyone and do not borrow another school's name.
A studio next to the rooms, open all morning
Teachers who write and photograph as children work
Panels by the door, so families can follow along
Projects that last as long as the interest does
Two languages
Spanish and English, all day
Children hear both languages from the adults they spend the day with. Neither is a lesson.
Stories twice
A picture book is read once in each language, often with the book in both. Children point to what they notice.
Who speaks what
Hisako and the room teachers speak English and use Spanish words every day, while Yajaira and both assistants speak both languages with the children.
Panels in both
Each panel is written in Spanish and in English, so grandparents and parents can read it the way they like.

A tour shows how it works in the room. Book one, or write to us in Spanish or English.
