ABOUT US
Rio Boise Children's Academy is a bilingual early childhood education center serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We believe in providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive with a team dedicated to offering high-quality early childhood education that focuses on the individual needs of each child. We are committed to partnering with families to support the development of happy, confident, and compassionate young learners.
​
Our learning environment is inclusive of children with varying needs and for families from any background.
OUR MISSION
To provide a high-quality, play-based education to young children in an accessible, inclusive environment that encourages curiosity, problem solving, and autonomy.
WHY WE DO IT
At Río Boise Children's Academy, we offer a comprehensive early childhood education program that includes a rich and diverse play-based curriculum and personalized care and education for each child. Our experienced educators create a stimulating and engaging dual-language environment where children can explore, discover, and develop essential skills. We are dedicated to fostering a love for learning and preparing children for future success while respecting and honoring them for who they already are: full human beings with rights and pre-existing knowledge and experiences.
​
Like our namesake Boise River, we are locally rooted and ever-evolving. In a child's world, the only constant is change. We provide a safe and reliable space for students and their families while understanding that flexibility is key. No two children are the same, just as no two classes are the same from month to month as children grow and learn. That means our job is to constantly work to plan our curriculum around the needs, interests, and abilities of the children currently attending! For that reason, families are strongly encouraged to be involved in our projects, and those projects (the basis of our curriculum) are planned actively throughout the year.
Children don't come in a box and neither should their curriculum!
​
We believe in real experiences, not screen time. Research shows that learning in early childhood comes from engaging and interacting with the people, places, and objects around a child. Children need interpersonal interaction and big body movement for healthy development! That's why we're committed to providing a screen-free environment as part of our intentional environmental design, and it's why—despite the allure of its ease as a tool for busy, working families—we strongly recommend avoiding as much as possible the use of screens like televisions, tablets, and phones at home, too. We, like you, want the very best for the children in our care.
