Our Philosophy
Nurturing Environment
At Un Mundo de Amigos, our curriculum is guided by the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach, which focuses on play-based, child-directed learning within a relationship-driven framework. This approach is designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and independence in our young learners.
We strive to nurture a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm for learning through interactive and exploratory activities. By encouraging children to question, analyze, and engage deeply with their environment, we enhance their capacity for critical thinking and independent inquiry. This nurturing educational approach builds resilience and adaptability and cultivates a lifelong passion for learning. Our aim is to prepare children to succeed in a dynamic world, equipping them with the skills and mindset needed to flourish in any setting.
What Parents Say
UMDA succeeds through a collaborative partnership between parents, teachers, and children who work to provide a caring, trusting, and noncompetitive environment.

Long Beach, CAThe best preschool there is! I have had my 3 older children at this school and I love how they work with the children here. There is nothing more satisfying as a parent than to see your children growing academically. Un Mundo de Amigos has provided my girls with the essentials to be ready for kindergarten.
