Our Foster City location includes two spacious play areas—one designated for toddlers and another for preschoolers. At Odyssey in Foster City, two preschool rooms use English as the primary language of instruction, while one dedicated classroom focuses on Mandarin with supplemental English lessons. Currently, our toddler programs are offered in both English and Mandarin, with plans to introduce separate language-specific classes next year.
Programs & Details
Toddler Program (Ages: 18 months - 33 months)
- Our toddler program focuses on creating a prepared environment that nurtures social-emotional regulation, language development, and practical life skills. Through engaging activities and careful observation, teachers design lessons that promote independence and coordination.
- Language Options: Parents can choose between English or Mandarin, with circles in both languages to enhance language acquisition.
Preschool/Kindergarten Program (Ages: 33 months – 6 years)
- We offer a dynamic preschool program with classes in English and enrichment language options like Mandarin or Spanish. The Montessori curriculum allows for individualized progress through all areas of learning.
- Mandarin Bilingual Classroom: This classroom integrates English and Mandarin activities, supporting children from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
Extended Care
- For families needing additional support, we provide extended care options that allow for flexible scheduling. Morning care starts at 8:00 AM, with afternoon options available until 5:30 PM.
Odyssey’s primary goal is to create a prepared environment that nurtures the whole child. In the toddler program, children develop skills in areas such as social and emotional regulation, language, motor skills, early literacy, math, cultural awareness, geography, sensorial experiences, and practical life activities. These skills are thoughtfully integrated into key areas of the environment. With a low child-to-teacher ratio of 6:1, and an assistant available to support the group as needed, each child receives individualized attention. The Play Yard features a sturdy structure and padded ground covering to keep children safe and prevent bruises.
