Preschool Plus Extended Care
This program is a preschool program open for children 1 to 6 years old, in two schedules, from 8:30 am to 3:30pm, or 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
Our Curriculum
Apex Peak is an integral developmental bilingual preschool program with Spanish as our focus second language.
Our curriculum is eminently based on the Montessori Method and philosophy, and is continually enriched with emergent educational elements that foster optimal brain architecture, and promote emotional intelligence.
Inspired by Japanese research on brain and skills development resulting from multiple writing alphabets, we’ve gone beyond fonts and cursive and introduced Tamil alphabet since we’re fortunate to have teachers fluent in the language.
Our preschool curriculum aims to foster problem solving, creative thinking, team working and attuned leadership. We know that these characteristics are present since birth and should be carefully tended to and encouraged. The Montessori Method, along with the integrated holistic approach of Luz y Sal standards, aims support and strengthen these traits in our children for the rest of their life.
Our highest value is a smart, kind, and happy child, eager to learn and contribute. Luz y Sal environments promote this as well as individual growth, community involvement and positive character development.
Preschool Program Schedule
Our school operates from 8:15 to 5:30 pm and our program is divided in two schedules:
Extended Day 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
Full Day 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Children can attend 4 or 5 days a week regardless of their age, depending on each schedule available spots.

DEPOSIT and CREDIT CARD information on file.
In order to secure a spot and confirm enrollment, we’ll require a Deposit of $1,500 per child. Deposit will be returned to families once their child or children enrollment ends, and provided there’s no outstanding tuition or supply fee payments, and the 30 day notice policy has been complied to. Shall there be any outstanding payments, once covered, any remainder deposit would be returned.
Once deposit is paid and a start of school date set, any delay in starting school, or cancellation of enrollment will result in forfeiting the deposit in favor of the school.
Enrolled children also have to keep at least one valid credit card information on file.
Diapers and “Toilet Learning”
We will gladly aid and support our children -and their families – with this huge milestone and independence goal. Toilet independence is not a requisite for enrollment in our daycare preschool program.
Snack Policy
APP is an Opt-Out school for the Nutrition standards of regulated daycare. This basically means that parents provide all snacks and lunch according to their personal diet preferences or needs. We encourage drinking water at school, and would have the emergency snack or lunch for when the need arises. At school we have the ability to refrigerate and warm food on a daily basis. No food is stored at school, nor kept overnight.
Children can bring from home any snack and beverage they want, but we do have a total no-peanuts allowed rule, in any form. Please make sure you let us know, in your application form, if there are any allergies, diets or preferences we should be aware of.
