ReWA believes that all children should have the opportunity to succeed in school and beyond.

Often, refugee and immigrant parents feel disconnected from existing child care programs due to language, cultural, and religious differences. Our Early Learning Center helps refugee and immigrant parents feel supported by providing childcare that honors diverse language, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

Curriculum

Our “Soy Bilingue” curriculum creates a balanced support of home language and culture, while equipping children with necessary English skills for their transition to Kindergarten.

The “HighScope Curriculum” meets the social, emotional, physical, language, cognitive and literacy objectives for childhood learning and development using a play-based model.
