About Our 4K Program

Mariposa is a collaborating partner with the Oregon School District. Mariposa has a Spanish instruction 4K program that has a play-based curriculum and follows the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) that prepare students for Kindergarten. Teachers focus on Social/Emotional development and self-regulation skills. Teachers create an atmosphere and environment that encourages students to be:

Students are provided with positive reinforcement to promote constructive behavior and turn their classroom into a positive learning environment. Our program focuses on the developmental categories listed below. Some example milestones for each category have been provided as well.
