Our Teachers
Hello, my name is Krissia Sola, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with six years of experience. My journey in this field started when I recognized an opportunity within my family’s childcare program to establish my own program. Since then, I have been wholeheartedly committed to delivering high-quality childcare services to families in my area.
What truly ignites my passion for working in early education is the ability to provide exceptional care to children and their families. I firmly believe that the early years of a child’s life are pivotal for their development, and I am grateful for the chance to play a positive role during this crucial stage. The joy I experience when witnessing the growth and progress of the children in my care is unparalleled.
Creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children is something I thoroughly enjoy. I strive to establish a safe and inclusive space where they can explore, learn, and develop their skills. Witnessing their curiosity and enthusiasm as they engage in various activities, play, and interact with their peers brings me immense fulfillment.
Building strong relationships with both the children and their families is an integral part of my childcare philosophy. I believe in fostering open and transparent communication with parents, keeping them informed about their child’s daily activities, progress, and any important updates. It brings me great satisfaction to earn the trust of parents and to be entrusted with the care and well-being of their children.
Over the course of my six years in childcare, I have gained valuable insights into the importance of patience, adaptability, and community building. Every child is unique and possesses individual needs and learning styles. I make it a priority to tailor my approach to meet each child’s specific requirements, ensuring they receive the necessary support and guidance to thrive.
As a childcare provider, I take great pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel loved, valued, and encouraged to explore their interests. Witnessing their smiles, hearing their laughter, and observing their progress are constant reminders of why I am so passionate about working in early education.
Philosophy
Welcome to Oruguitas Childcare! I am delighted to share with you our philosophy and approach to early childhood education. At Oruguitas Childcare, we are dedicated to providing a play-based and Spanish immersion program that nurtures and supports each child’s unique learning journey.
We firmly believe that play is a fundamental aspect of childhood development. Play allows children to explore their surroundings, engage their senses, and make meaningful connections with the world around them. It is through play that children develop important cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills that lay the foundation for future learning.
In our play-based approach, we create a rich and stimulating environment that encourages children to learn through hands-on exploration and discovery. We offer a wide range of age-appropriate materials, activities, and experiences that foster creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Whether it’s building with blocks, engaging in imaginative play, or participating in sensory activities, children have the freedom to express themselves, take risks, and learn at their own pace.
Additionally, our Spanish immersion program is an integral part of our childcare philosophy. We believe in the immense benefits of early language exposure, and we strive to create a bilingual environment where children have the opportunity to learn Spanish naturally and authentically. Through music, stories, conversations, and everyday interactions, children are immersed in the Spanish language, allowing them to develop linguistic skills while embracing cultural diversity.

About our program
Our Spanish immersion program is at the heart of what we do. We believe that exposing children to a second language at an early age not only enhances their cognitive development but also opens doors to a world of opportunities. Our dedicated team of bilingual educators creates a rich and immersive environment where children naturally absorb the Spanish language through play, songs, stories, and interactive activities.
We understand the importance of a smooth transition to kindergarten, which is why we place a strong emphasis on preparing our students for this exciting milestone. Our curriculum is carefully designed to develop essential skills, such as literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and social-emotional development. Through engaging and age-appropriate activities, we help children build confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for future academic success.
At Oruguitas Childcare, we believe in celebrating diversity and embracing different cultures. We enthusiastically commemorate all holidays with our students, incorporating engaging activities and projects that allow them to explore and appreciate various traditions. From creating festive crafts to learning about different cultural customs, we ensure that each celebration is an educational and enjoyable experience for every child.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond language learning and academic preparedness. We provide a warm, caring, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported. Our passionate educators strive to create strong connections with each child and their families, fostering a sense of belonging and trust.
