Early Learning Open House
You’re invited to discover the DGLA Foundations Program — a warm, hands-on learning community for children ages 2–5.
Come See What Makes Our Youngest Learners Thrive
At DeGrio Global Learning Academy, our Early Learning Foundations Program (Ages 2–5) is where curiosity is nurtured, independence is built, and every child is known and loved. This isn’t a daycare — it’s an intentionally designed virtual learning environment where your child’s natural wonder becomes the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
We’d love to welcome your family in. Take a look below at a day in our program, meet the rhythm and routines that make our Early Learning community special, and picture your own child right at the center of it.

Why Families Choose Our Foundations Program
🌱
A Prepared, Montessori-Informed Environment
Every material and routine is intentionally chosen to help your child move from hands-on exploration to real understanding, one confident step at a time.
🧩
Protected Time for Deep Play & Practical Life
Uninterrupted work cycles give children the freedom to focus, repeat, and truly master a skill — no rushing from one activity to the next.
🖥️
Gentle, Screen-Minimal Technology
Our youngest learners explore the world with their hands first. When technology is used, it’s tactile and purposeful — never a substitute for real connection.
💜
A Warm, Individualized Community
Small groups, attentive teachers, and a genuine partnership with your family — because every child grows at their own pace.
A Sample Day in Our Foundations Program
Every day is built around a gentle, predictable rhythm designed for young learners — here’s a glimpse of what a full day looks like.
9:00 AM — Morning Welcome Circle (Live)
We meet live on video for music, greetings, and a gentle wellness check-in before previewing the day ahead together.
9:20 AM — Literacy & Phonics (Small-Group Coaching)
Playful reading games, sound-matching activities, and short one-on-one sessions with a teacher build early language skills.
10:00 AM — Brain Break & Screen-Free Play
A screen-free pause for sensory play, movement, or a morning snack—because young learners need time to simply be.
10:30 AM — Mathematics in Action (Hands-On & Blended)
Counting, sorting, and hands-on activities with everyday household objects, paired with playful learning games.
11:10 AM — Show-and-Tell & Closing Circle (Live)
Children share what they’ve discovered, connect with classmates, and reflect together before the day winds down.
Afternoon — Exploration & Creative Projects (Family-Guided)
Nature walks, arts and crafts, and hands-on projects—unhurried time for your child to explore alongside a parent or learning coach.
Placement in our Foundations Program is based on your child’s developmental readiness — not age alone — so pacing and daily rhythm are tailored to fit your child, not the other way around.
