Atlas Immersion Academy’s Programs
Atlas Northeast offers a menu of both part-time and full-time program options to suit our families’ varying needs. With an immersive Spanish language curriculum, our center caters to children from 18 months to 6 years old, creating age-appropriate spaces that support children in reaching developmental milestones.
No matter how old your child is, rest assured they will also receive educational foundations in Early Literacy, Early Math fundamentals and STEM concepts, as well as engage in rich dramatic play, storytelling, artistic and sensory exploration, block play, fine motor skills building and more! Infused throughout every day are opportunities for social emotional skills building and scaffolding by teachers who have been trained in the Conscious Discipline method.
By combining philosophies and research on early childhood education from across the globe, we are able to create an anti-bias curriculum that exposes children to thinking beyond borders.
Infant and Wobbler Rooms
3 - 18 Months
Immersion Builds A Love For Languages
Atlas Silicon Forest’s two infant rooms are staffed by multilingual teachers who immerse the babies in French, Spanish and Mandarin, at times in the same classroom environment. At these ages, the emphasis is on each child’s unique stage of development, and less on which language “track” the family will choose; babies’ brains are in the optimal stage for learning native pronunciation making this the prime time for a “more is better” approach! Absorbing a second language during infancy enhances memory, multitasking, self-expression, and much more later on.
An Inclusive Environment Honors Every Family & Child
From a young age, your little one interacts with various cultures, which helps them recognize the beauty in people’s differences. An anti-bias curriculum teaches young minds the values of acceptance, equality, diversity, and community.
Social-Emotional Learning Brings Lifelong Benefits
Teachers use the Conscious Discipline® method to teach your baby about identifying emotions like happiness, sadness, excitement, impatience, and more. Little ones also learn age-appropriate ways of managing their emotions.
Enriching Activities Stimulate The Senses
Your baby relies on a varied sensory diet to boost their cognitive development. Music, baby signing, a sensory garden, dance, and outdoor play twice a day help your baby express themselves while learning new skills and having fun!
Toddlers 18 months - 2.5 Years
Our Younger Toddler room has a low ratio of 1:4 to ensure children receive the dedicated care they require and allow us to provide an individualized experience for each of our little learners.
Enriching Activities Develop The Senses
Programs such as dance, music and yoga stimulate your toddler’s senses and enhance their cognitive development. Developing creative hobbies allows them to express themselves while refining their burgeoning motor skills.
Parents Are A Part Of The Family, Too!
Events and celebrations are hosted each year, with parents invited to join in on the fun at any time. As health and safety protocols allow, we strive to offer parent courses where you learn with other parents in the Atlas community! Topics include French or Spanish language exchange, Conscious Discipline® theory and practice, and general early childhood development knowledge.
An Inclusive Culture Welcomes Everyone
An anti-bias curriculum teaches your toddler how to celebrate differences, keep an open mind, and appreciate different cultures. They will learn that diversity in the world is what makes it beautiful.
Conscious Discipline® Builds Emotional Intelligence
Teachers help your child learn to understand their feelings and how their actions impact others. They learn concepts such as taking turns, sharing, and describing their emotions.
Learning How To Care, Share, & Take Turns
Developing lifelong social-emotional skills is just as important to your toddler’s development as academic learning. Children learn to be patient, recognize their feelings, understand how their actions impact others, and start verbalizing their emotions.
Early Preschool 2.5 years to 3.5 Years
In our Early Preschool room, we have a ratio of 1:5 meaning that each child still receives a highly personalised educational experience, to suit their individual learning needs.
Full Spanish Immersion
Beginning in the Older Toddler/ Early Preschool rooms, parents really see their child’s new language skills expand! Thanks to an immersive language program, your toddler gets a head start on becoming bilingual. Teachers speak to little ones in Spanish to get them comfortable switching back and forth with their mother tongue.
Social-Emotional Learning Creates Confident Individuals
Teachers use the Conscious Discipline® method to gently guide your child’s behavior and equip them with the skills to become increasingly self-aware, identify their feelings, and understand how their actions affect others. Values such as self-confidence, independence, and empathy are built by identifying emotions and learning to form happy, healthy relationships.
Outdoor Play Builds Strong Muscles & Bones
Outdoor play happens twice daily at the public park adjacent to our center. Your toddler develops large muscle groups and gross motor skills as they run, jump, and climb with friends using our outdoor equipment and materials.
Parent Involvement Makes The Day
Parents are welcome any time, from helping on a field trip to joining in a holiday celebration. If you speak the target language in your child’s class, drop in and share your culture with the kids; they’ll love it!
Toddlers 2 - 3 Years
Enriching Activities Develop The Senses
Programs such as dance, music and yoga stimulate your toddler’s senses and enhance their cognitive development. Developing creative hobbies allows them to express themselves while refining their burgeoning motor skills.
Outdoor Play Builds Strong Muscles & Bones
Outdoor play happens twice daily for 45-60 minutes on spacious, age-appropriate playgrounds. Your toddler develops large muscle groups and gross motor skills as they run, jump, and climb with friends in gardens and on safe play structures.
Parents Are A Part Of The Family, Too!
Events and celebrations are hosted each year, with parents invited to join in on the fun at any time.

Preschool/Pre-K
3 (with birthday by 9/1) - 5 Years
At Atlas NorthEast, a mixed age Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten environment allows for continuity over two years in an enriching and social environment. Over several years of teaching, we have found that allowing children to learn in a mixed-age space provides them with unique learning opportunities. In their “preschool” year, ages 3-4, children feel challenged to push their own learning as they observe and interact with their older peers. During their last year before kindergarten, or “Pre-K”, older children build their confidence as they set the example for younger children.
Daily Learning In Spanish Builds Language Skills
Research shows that exposure to a second language early on in life increases your child’s chances of becoming fully bilingual as they grow. Teachers conduct lessons in Spanish to offer an immersive, multilingual environment.
Social-Emotional Learning Creates Confident Individuals
Teachers use the Conscious Discipline® method to gently guide your child’s behavior and equip them with the skills to become increasingly self-aware, identify their feelings, and understand how their actions affect others. Values such as self-confidence, independence, and empathy are built by identifying emotions and learning to form happy, healthy relationships.
Daily Outdoor Play Grows School-Ready Bodies
Recreational time at our the neighbouring park happens twice daily for up to an hour. Staying active in the fresh air allows your child to expend extra energy while propelling physical development, ensuring they’re ready for school. With outdoor equipment and materials, every visit to the park offers something new for children to explore or experience. Identifying pinnies and low ratios keep children safe during outdoor activities.
Continuity and Balance Create a Supportive Environment
The continuity of being in the same room throughout their preschool and pre-K years allows children’s confidence to bloom and, as they graduate to being the “older children” in the room, take on a nurturing role. With a well-balanced curriculum that blends child-led play with teacher-directed activities, your child gains greater than average literacy, numeracy, and self-care knowledge.
Your Child Will Be Ready For Kindergarten
Academic learning happens via child-led play and teacher-guided activities that prompt your little one to absorb knowledge through their experiences. By graduation, children are equipped with the reading, writing, numerical, and spatial abilities to ensure kindergarten success!
Creative Enrichments Stimulate The Senses
Enrichment activities such as yoga, dance, music, and art are equally as important to cognitive development as academics. These sensory-rich programs enable your child to pick up new hobbies while learning additional skills and expressing themselves creatively.
