Uni-Vision Childcare Center

Uni-Vision, where we believe in one vision….that all children given the right tools, education and drive have a chance to succeed. We want to start instilling this at an early age while their precious minds are in prime developmental stages. I can understand how difficult it can be for working parents to balance all of their commitments and responsibilities in their lives. For this reason I strive to offer a program that will make your child’s daily activities enjoyable, rewarding and stimulating. We will enrich your child’s development while putting your mind at ease. Our main objective as a childcare facility is to provide a safe and nurturing environment. It is our goal to provide a program that meets the intellectual, moral, social, emotional and physical needs of every child. We will do our best to assist your child in developing important values such as: good manners, caring, sharing, patience, responsibility, as well as communication and teamwork.

Uni-Vision Childcare is Lancaster County’s first Spanish Immersion child care program, providing a bilingual curriculum that supports language based on the children’s interest and developmental needs.

A Spanish Immersion Program offers students the ability to become bilingual at a very young age. Exposure to a second language should begin as early as possible. The chances of achieving full fluency in another language are much higher if study is begun in the first five years of life, since the human brain is wired to learn language during this critical period.

Our students will be able to speak and understand both English and Spanish. Unlike learning a language later on in life, young children typically do not feel inhibited or scared to speak a new language. Research shows that learning a second language enhances intellectual development and improves overall school performance. It also shows that bilingual students gain additional academic, cognitive and employment benefits later in life.

Spanish is the most useful language to know in the United States in the 21st Century. Students will become accustomed to hearing the Spanish language through sensory-rich activities, movement, music, play and a strong literature component.

Our program balances fun and learning while offering children opportunities to expand their language development, making learning memorable and enjoyable.

We will be using the Family Child Care Edition of the Creative Curriculum which is the only research-based, comprehensive curriculum that addresses the unique strengths and challenges of family child care. This edition is an updated and expanded edition that helps family child care providers design high quality home based programs that are responsive to the needs of children and integrate learning into every moment of the day. All aspects of the curriculum will be bilingual. Part of the day will be spoken and taught solely in English, the other part of the day will be the same content in Spanish. For the entirety of each immersion experience, Spanish is used exclusively for that part of the day. That means no translation and no memorization. Just seamless acquisition of a second language.
