Weekly programs for children ages 0–5 and their parents and caregivers, led by multilingual, multicultural instructors who understand the joys and challenges of raising children as immigrants and refugees.
Playful, culturally nuanced programs that support your child’s physical, social, emotional, cognitive, bilingual and bicultural development.
Early learning through music, movement and story time. Children and caregivers learn together, connect with other families, and get guidance on developmental milestones, wellness, nutrition and parenting as immigrants.
Theme-based stories, music, arts and crafts that build fine and gross motor skills and prepare children for school. Offered in English and regional languages as needed, with parenting education and childcare resources.
A twice-yearly check that your child’s development is on track, using the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ). If there are concerns, we help connect your family to next steps, resources and language support.
Caregivers play a tremendous role in the cultural, social and emotional wellbeing of the children in their care. We offer a nurturing, supportive space where your needs matter too.
Weekly forums with experts who understand our community’s cultural nuances, offering information, resources and support for your child’s development and kindergarten readiness.
Your health matters too. Join fun weekly workouts and ask health questions along the way.
Guidance on parent-child relationships, plus referrals to resources your family may need, including peer mentoring and support groups.
Programs meet every week at two locations.
IACS has continued to emerge as a strong pillar of strength for my family. The early childhood program has been there for my child and me. Together we learn new ways to play, make friends, read and do yoga together.
