Description
Our classroom provides an ideal environment to foster individual development and self-help skills. We use a scaffolded approach to learning through systematically building on students’ experiences and knowledge as they are acquiring new skills in order to enhance learning and aid in the mastery of tasks. Their curious minds are exposed to an enriched curriculum focusing on language development by using pictures, books and basic academics in their environment. Following simple instructions is implemented through circle time, story time, art, and curriculum projects. Besides the social, emotional development, we also focus on developing fine motor skills through fun and sensory activities. Our Little Explorers are ready to put to practice their newfound independence by exploring their surroundings as they come with a Brighter understanding of their world around them.

Description
Our classrooms are filled with endless learning opportunities to enhance children’s cognitive and language skills with basic academics through small-group activities that encourage investigation, exploration, and discovery. Our scaffolding approach is a critical component in teaching new tasks with multiple steps where our teachers provide support for students. Our children that are now engaging in short sentence conversions are able to absorb information within our curriculum that is designed to support creative expression, literacy and music by fostering their curious minds. By introducing skills that enable independence through enriching art projects and hands-on activities, we are ensuring they are able to expand concepts that were developed in Little Explorers.

Description
This classroom provides an enriched and challenging hands-on curriculum that continues to ignite children’s inner curiosity enabling realistic learning opportunities through a solid routine that brings out their creativity. Exploring world geography, reading multicultural literature, researching world cultures, playing traditional games are just some of the ways we are building a community of global learners. Throughout the learning process, our students are able to watch their teacher model, or demonstrate, each step in the task or strategy multiple times. Such modeling and repetition allows students to understand both how to perform each step and why each step is important. In this phase our children are practicing by applying their knowledge and developing it further by learning about the world and its food, music and clothing. Children will get to explore and experience various cultures Around the World.

Parent Reviews
This place is absolutely amazing, we are so impressed. While there are many, many excellent aspects from BK Palo Alto, the most amazing part are the people that work there. Miss Vibhuti Patel is running BK Palo Alto, and she is great on all aspects: clear, accommodating, responsive to all our questions, and clearly keen on creating a very nurturing learning and playing environment for the children. Miss Priya is wonderful at helping our almost 3-old son with a smooth transition to the classroom every morning. She is also extremely responsive to our questions or concerns. Teacher Mabelle is incredibly good with children: our son brings crafts, drawings, etc, from school every day! He learns so much while he is there, from letters, numbers, shapes, songs. BK Palo Alto has great new installations which are sparking clean. Everyone is being very careful about COVID at this childcare center. Also, they use an app and send pictures and messages to the parents throughout the day. I recommend this place without hesitation.
