Using research-based educational practices and methods, FAZ provides reliable, high-quality care to infants, toddlers and children up to five years of age. We’re proud to offer a friendly and nurturing setting that promotes diversity of both culture and language.

Infants

For infants, every new day is filled with firsts. At FAZ, we offer compassionate care and stimulating daily activities to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for your infant.

Toddlers
Now that your child can walk and run, our toddler room has so much to offer! We'll guide and encourage your toddler through these critical years of social, emotional and cognitive development.
Preschool
Who, what, when, where and why? These are the questions your preschooler is asking every day as they develop their speech and learn more about the world around them. With guidance from our imaginative teachers and structure from our creative curricula, your preschooler will build a foundation for their future problem-solving, reading and writing skills.
School Age

We explore nature and physical education during our summer program for children ages 5 to 8.

Arabic

We embrace culture and language in our Arabic program each Sunday from September through May for children ages 5 to 12.

Brightwheel Keeps You Connected

We use Brightwheel to help you stay connected with your children throughout the day. You can see what your child did during their stay, message staff, and even handle billing directly through the app. Learn More >

Our Approach to Learning

Teaching Strategies Logo

FAZ partners with Teaching Strategies to provide innovative and effective curricula and assessments for your children. Teaching Strategies helps our teachers make learning exciting and relevant for your child. Learn More >

Assessments

Screening

When your child enrolls, FAZ will use the Early Screening Inventory-Revised (ESI-R) for preschoolers and the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) for infants and toddlers. This helps inform us about your child's development and needs.

Achievement
Each day, our staff uses Teaching Strategies GOLD to collect observations about your child's interactions and work samples. This allows us to track their progress in language, literacy, social studies, art, math, science and technology as well as social-emotional, physical and cognitive development.
Quality
FAZ uses the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) to understand the quality of interactions between our staff and your child. We also use the Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale-Revised (ECERS-R) to measure the quality of our learning environments.

Additional Educational Services

Montessori Manipulatives

Our collection of sensory materials allows children to work independently in an environment that facilitates learning. New concepts children can explore include visual perception, visual discrimination of length and size, tactile sense, color awareness and appreciation, and object equivalency, congruency and similarity.

Little Pim

Children at FAZ are offered words, phrases and sentences in French, Spanish and Arabic through our Little Pim language program. In an increasingly global community, we believe that learning new languages, especially during the most critical years for language development, is beneficial for children in the long run.

In addition to learning about classical music, students will acquire valuable life skills: patience, sensitivity, discipline, appreciation and flexibility. Learn More >

Children learn best when they manipulate physical objects. It’s also one of the foundations of the Montessori teaching method, which is why we’e partnered with Marbotic, an interactive learning system mixing traditional wooden toys and touchscreen technology. Learn More >
