Jardín de Niños Mission

Mission Statement

JDNI lays the groundwork for a life love of learning by combining the benefits of multilingual and intercultural education, promoting international-mindedness. Our school aims to develop active, knowledgeable, and compassionate learners who contribute to a better and more peaceful world.

JDNI Objectives

We strive to develop in students an ability to think critically and creatively. We guide their emotional and physical growth in ways that prepare them to flourish in an increasingly international, social, business and technological world.

With our focus on developing internationally-minded students, we assist in the formation of sound character and high standards of personal conduct and integrity while fostering civic responsibility.

Jardín de Niños has established high standards to assist students in achieving and exceeding these standards while strengthening personal initiative and developing a lifelong interest in learning.

Focus on Diversity

Our belief is that the experience of life is enhanced through contact with others of differing backgrounds and cultures. In alignment with our internationally minded philosophy, we seek to attract and welcome families from a variety of ethnic, national and cultural backgrounds.

Focus on Students

One important benefit offered by Jardín de Niños is our small class sizes. Lower ratio of students to teachers provides the opportunity for increased interactions between the learner and the teacher, more individualized instruction when needed, and lessons tailored to meet student needs. Our goal is to maintain a ratio of 10 students per teacher.

Focus on Language

The hallmark of Jardín de Niños Interlingua is its highly successful Spanish immersion and dual language programs. From infants through 4 years, students are completely immersed in the Spanish language daily in all academic areas. Starting Kindergarten, students begin our dual language program and are exposed to Spanish half the day and English half the day. Through this approach, our students are achieving bilingual and bi-literate fluency in both English and Spanish in all academic areas.

Focus on Math, Science, Social Studies & Technology

Our unique transdisciplinary approach to learning integrates the areas of math, science, social studies and technology under six main themes: Who We Are, Where We Are in Place and Time, How We Express Ourselves, How the World Works, How We Organize Ourselves and Sharing the Planet. To be truly educated, a student must be able to make connections across disciplines, discover and integrate subject matter, and then relate what they have learned to life.

Focus on the Arts

Jardín de Niños believes that artistic engagement is essential to the creative, emotional and intellectual development of each student. Students are exposed to both fine and performing arts, exploring a variety of artistic media in expanding their creative potential.
