Our preschool is a warm, non-denominational international school located in Bloomfield, NJ, welcoming children ages 2.5 through Kindergarten. Rooted in inclusivity, we embrace families from all cultures, religions, and backgrounds. Our innovative, child-centered approach supports every learner’s abilities and learning style, helping them grow with confidence in a nurturing and safe environment. Guided by our core pillars—Music & Movement, World Languages (Spanish, French, Mandarin), STEAM exploration, Cooking Up Creativity, and Outdoor Education—we offer a joyful, well-rounded experience where children learn through hands-on discovery and play. Inspired by the creativity and curiosity of Leonardo da Vinci, we nurture the “little Da Vinci” within every child.
Our program focuses on age-appropriate activities that enhance creativity, social skills, and academic growth.
Along with hands-on learning centers, we use innovative educational approaches that promote exploration, independence, and self-confidence, ensuring every child thrives.Children have an innate curiosity and ability to direct their own learning experiences. At Leonardo da Vinci International Academy, we nurture their natural curiosity and encourage choice and autonomy which allows children to select materials that resonate with their interests. Our emphasis on child-led exploration of materials and projects enables children to actively participate in their learning.
Our program offers a nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment where children ages 2 1/2 to 6 can grow at their own pace.
Through hands-on experiences and center-based learning, children explore themes that spark curiosity and encourage active participation. This approach helps them develop key skills while deepening their understanding of themselves, their peers, and the world around them. By fostering a love of learning, we set the foundation for lifelong growth and discovery.
Our curriculum is research-based and crafted to support the educational growth and social-emotional development for each child. We emphasize age-appropriate activities that promote learning, creativity, and social skills, ensuring every child reaches their full potential. We offer a wide range of classes, including Language, Math, Social Sciences, Art, Music, Movement, Spanish/French/Mandarin, STEAM, Cooking, and Nature/Outdoor Exploration, providing a well-rounded and enriching educational experience.
