About Our Campus / Acerca de la escuela

Norma Garcia-Leza Primary School
At the Garcia-Leza Primary School emphasis is placed on meeting the child’s cognitive, social, and emotional needs. We understand that meeting those needs begins and continues with the child’s guardians; therefore we embrace our families and look towards working along side with each and every one of them. At our center the use of engaging lessons provides a development and enhancement of oral language, social skill development, reading as well as math readiness. Therefore, the child is able to become a critical thinker, responsible person and productive citizen. Instruction is designed to meet the needs of children who have many diverse learning styles as well as backgrounds. Children are provided a variety of learning opportunities through modeling, hands-on exploration, discovery, dramatic play, and guided practice through direct instruction. The use of manipulatives and purposeful hands-on activities are emphasized so that the child is able to discover the abilities he/she possess. Children who attend the Garcia-Leza Primary School are given the opportunity to make choices in activities modeled by the teacher. In addition, technology is integrated into the students learning environment so that they are prepared for the technology world of today. Our highly qualified staff is ready to meet the needs of the Garcia-Leza community and is lovingly waiting to meet your child.
