About this daycare
Description
At Tierra Encantada - Windom, we provide a warm, friendly environment where children from 6 months to 6 years can thrive in our Spanish immersion program. Through everyday activities like songs, games, and creative learning in arts, music, science, math, and more, children naturally pick up Spanish while exploring new ideas and building important skills. Our goal is to foster curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in a fun, supportive atmosphere. We serve from-scratch meals prepared daily to fuel growing bodies and minds, and with both indoor and outdoor playgrounds, kids have plenty of space for active play. Whether they’re climbing, running, or playing with friends, children develop confidence, physical skills, and social connections. At Tierra Encantada - Windom, we focus on creating a safe, joyful space where children feel encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace. Get in touch today to learn more or schedule a tour—we’d love to show you how we support each child’s unique journey!
