About
Montessori inspired playroom with low, open shelves. Children will have access to educational, sustainable toys, not within a structured activity, but as a time for them to just play, using their creativity and imagination. The playroom is carefully rearranged for this activity, to encourage independence and concentration. We make accesible just the right amount of toys, to make sure that the children do not feel overwhelmed and that they enjoy them fully, increasing the chances for deep play. The selection of toys rotates partially every two weeks, which makes for an interesting and engaging experience that fosters their curiosity.

About
Cucu's PlayHouse is a Language Immersion School located in San Rafael, California that specializes in teaching Spanish through Music and Movement to children aged 3 months to 5 years old.
Through singing, dancing, and playing interactive games, Cucu's PlayHouse stimulates children's creativity and imagination, encourages speech development, social and physical skills and develops their innate musicality. Along with spoken language, music is one of the most valuable learning tools—and Cucu's PlayHouse lets kids learn while having fun!
