Our Classrooms
Where Learning Begins and Confidence Grows
Footprints Early Education Center is the bridge between home and formal schooling. In addition to our carefully planned curriculum guided by Multiple Intelligences, our two classrooms are designed with specific age-appropriate focuses to develop a love of learning, build strong character, and help each child reach their full potential.
Jellyfish Classroom – Ages 2+
A nurturing and joyful introduction to preschool, the Jellyfish Classroom builds social-emotional confidence, independence, and foundational skills through play-based, developmentally appropriate learning.
Starfish Classroom – Ages 3+
The Starfish Classroom deepens bilingual fluency, strengthens character and critical thinking, and prepares children confidently for Transitional Kindergarten through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
A Safe & Thoughtfully Designed Environment
Learning Spaces Designed for Growth
At Footprints Early Education Center, our indoor facility consists of two large classrooms, each thoughtfully divided into various learning areas based on Developmentally Appropriate Practices and the Multiple Intelligences theory. We have a professional cleaning team that thoroughly cleans the facility daily after school hours, and our staff also maintain the classrooms throughout the day to ensure a healthy and safe learning environment for every child.
Jellyfish Classroom – Ages 2+
The Jellyfish Classroom focuses on social-emotional development and helping young children feel secure, confident, and joyful about learning. This classroom lays the foundation for practical life skills, positive social interactions, and physical development, helping children grow into confident and independent young preschoolers.

Developing early social skills
Strengthening fine motor and gross motor skills to support future academic learning
Developing independence and practical life skills, such as self-care and daily routines
Understanding their surroundings and beginning to connect with the community

Starfish Classroom – Ages 3+
(Off Diaper)
The Starfish Classroom strengthens independence, character, and critical thinking through meaningful, hands-on experiences. As children deepen their understanding of the world around them, they refine advanced learning skills and prepare confidently for Transitional Kindergarten.
Key learning focuses in the Starfish Classroom include:
Strengthening bilingual communication through confident code-switching between English and Chinese
Building strong foundational skills in early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and critical thinking
Character development that nurtures empathy, responsibility, collaboration, and self-regulation

What Families Are Saying
Trusted by Parents in Our Community
My two children have been going to Footprints for a few years now and we love it. The bilingual Mandarin/English teaching is important to us as my wife's family all speaks Mandarin, and mine speaks English. They don't just learn a few phrases in Mandarin, our kids actually are actually fluent in Mandarin and English and speak Mandarin to each-other and to their friends.
We also appreciate the play-based curriculum, this isn't a high-stress school, and they put an emphasis on building character. Despite that, I do feel like my daughter is perfectly on track to attend Kindergarten in the next school year. The teachers are all wonderful and responsive, I'm always impressed with how they are able to handle challenging situations with the kids without resorting to anger. I highly recommend Footprints for anyone interested in bilingual, play-based education.
