Programs Offered Bilingual Nest provides age-specific programs: Infants (3–12 months): Focusing on the well-being of babies. Toddlers (12–24 months): Caring for energetic and curious little learners. Preschool (2–5 years): Creating a safe and clean environment for learning. Each program emphasizes bilingual education, inspired by Teachers College’s bilingual approach to early childhood literacy and aligned with New York State standards.

Teaching Philosophy Bilingual Nest's philosophy centers on individualized learning, positive reinforcement, and community building. Children engage in various learning centers—such as kitchen, puzzles, workbench, cars and trucks, blocks/Legos, library, and dolls—to build vocabulary through play and interaction. The school values multiple intelligences and differentiates instruction to meet each child's unique needs, promoting independence and problem-solving skills.

Through the modeling of their teachers and the curriculum, students develop empathy and love for each other, becoming empowered and encouraged to let their voices be heard. The school differentiates instruction to meet each child’s needs and strives to make learning fun.
