Our Childcare Philosophy

At Teida’s Tots, we believe that the foundation of early childhood education is joy, exploration, and imagination. In our warm, home-based daycare in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, children are encouraged to play, explore, and engage with the world around them. Every day brings a new adventure—full of movement, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences. Rather than sticking to a rigid schedule, we embrace a flexible, child-led approach that allows kids to learn naturally through hands-on activities and discovery.

Bilingual Childcare with Spanish Language Integration

We proudly offer bilingual childcare in Highlands Ranch, where Spanish is gently introduced alongside English throughout the day. At Teida’s Tots, we foster an inclusive, multicultural environment that supports early language development. Research shows that early exposure to multiple languages can significantly enhance cognitive skills and communication abilities. Our goal is to help children become confident, curious learners—and give them a lifelong advantage by nurturing early bilingual skills.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow up multilingual in today’s diverse world.

Wholesome Meals Every Day

As a certified Master Herbalist, I place a strong emphasis on health and wellness in every aspect of your child’s care—starting with the food they eat. At Teida’s Tots, children are served healthy meals and snacks that nourish both their bodies and minds. We believe that good nutrition is essential for brain development, emotional balance, and physical growth. You can rest assured that your child is eating clean, wholesome food every day in our daycare.

Creative Exploration Through Art and Play

We know that creativity is a vital part of early childhood development. That’s why we offer plenty of opportunities for kids to express themselves through arts and crafts, building activities, painting, drawing, sculpting, and imaginative play. Whether they’re molding with clay or painting their next masterpiece, children at Teida’s Tots are always encouraged to think creatively and explore their artistic side.

Fun, Engaging Learning Activities

Learning is always exciting at our Highlands Ranch home daycare! From early math skills and reading readiness to geology, puzzles, potty training, handwriting, and spelling, we tailor our educational activities to each child’s interests and developmental stage. We believe that a nurturing, home-like environment can be just as stimulating as a traditional preschool or early learning center. Every day brings something new and fun to discover at Teida’s Tots.
