Child Doing Art Activity

Welcome to Manitas!

Why Us?

Manitas provides a safe, loving and nurturing environment for children. We assist children in becoming confident and creative individuals. Children are allowed to find and encouraged to follow their interest. They learn to collaborate, share and interact with other children as we have a mixed age classroom. Mixed age classroom generates a family of learners who support and care for one another. Older children have the opportunity to serve as mentors and take leadership roles. Younger Children are able to have peer role models. Although the classroom is a mixed age group, students are grouped by age into groups and work with the guidance different teachers.
