Our Teachers
Hello, my name is Sandra Pintado, and I am the director of Semillitas Daycare. With a rich history spanning 15 years in the childcare industry, our journey began in New York. It all started with the care of our four children and looking after the little ones of our relatives in the neighborhood. It was during this time that I recognized the potential to turn my passion for working with children into a meaningful business endeavor. When my family and I relocated to South Bend, we observed a pressing need for quality childcare services in the area. This realization led us to open the doors of Semillitas Daycare, where our commitment to nurturing and educating children has been at the heart of our mission ever since.
Philosophy
Semillitas Daycare is deeply committed to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for your child’s development. Our philosophy revolves around a play-based approach, recognizing that children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and having fun. We believe that play is the vehicle through which children explore the world around them, build essential social skills, and develop a lifelong love for learning. At Semillitas, we take this philosophy a step further by incorporating a Spanish immersion focus. We believe in the power of early language exposure, and our dedicated staff is passionate about creating an immersive Spanish-speaking environment where children can absorb language naturally while enjoying their playtime. Our goal is to foster not only cognitive growth but also a strong cultural and linguistic foundation, setting the stage for a brighter and more interconnected future for our little Semillitas.
Location
Our childcare facility is nestled in the heart of South Bend, Indiana, offering a warm and nurturing environment for your little ones.
