We are a bilingual center with Spanish immersion.
We provide engaging opportunities for the child to participate using both languages throughout the day!
We prioritize sensory based play as the roadmap to help a child discover and uncover all it can be. We see play as a golden opportunity to teach respect, listening skills, turn taking, boundaries, sharing, self awareness, conflict resolution, and emotion regulation.
Through play children learn fundamental skills that will be carried throughout life. We use daily interactions as opportunities to expand language development and guide the child to become independent while still aware of others and communicating their needs when necessary.
We strive to include the child’s individuality in the learning process because we understand that every child is unique and development is nonlinear.
Early childhood is an open road of self discovery and world discovery, and we want to encourage the child to communicate, share, participate and enjoy every step along the way, even on challenging days!
Three pillars that guide every decision we make for our center.
Understanding | Support | Motivation
Personalized teaching with small groups, to maximize your experience and at the same time have the careful observation of qualified personnel who will support, encourage and motivate their way.
Integrated vision | Evolution
Holistic education in two languages (bilingual) for children and parents, with the aim of helping them in the transition of each stage of life through a conscious education in the different areas of being (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual).
Community Development
Parents, caregivers & the community as pillars for the development of a resilient, strong, healthy and creative child. Involve parents to navigate childhood changes and challenges that arise in development, and create a supportive system of understanding to manage these changes efficiently.
Daniela Coppola founded Evergreen in 2021, inspired by a transformative year between 2020 and 2021. Her vision for a new approach to education goes back to 2014 when she was completing her bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and completing her thesis in Educational Psychology back in Cali, Colombia. Daniela has always been passionate about early childhood development and emphasizes the importance of healthy habits established from a young age. She understands how critical a mother’s experiences during preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum are on a child’s growth and development.
She has 10+ years in educational settings.
Colombian Native.
She has gained her cultural perspective to connect with others and create a sense of belonging. She blends her teaching philosophies, fostering an inclusive, engaging, and supportive environment for all.
She holds a B.S. in Psychology and M.S. in Mental Health Counseling, which has allowed her to understand the emotional and psychological needs of children. Her educational background has cultivated her belief in the importance of mental health as a foundation in childhood development. She advocates for addressing the whole child, ensuring that social and emotional needs are met first.
Aside from formal education, she has experience in fitness and nutrition, working to help others instill healthy daily habits. She believes that education should extend beyond the classroom. She supports integrating healthy habits and physical wellness routines at a young age, which children will then carry into adulthood.
She strongly believes in the impact that emotions have on the body, therefore she is an avid advocate of emotional wellbeing and finding healthy ways to channel, make space, and release emotions.
As much as she loves and appreciates the value of different teaching philosophies, she doesn’t box her teaching methods into a single category. Instead, she adapts different approaches to meet the diverse needs of each child. She believes children are constantly evolving, and as educators, it is our responsibility to meet them where they are in their journey.
When she’s not in the classroom, you can find her running miles, hiking with her family, cooking new recipes, reading, and taking on new DIY projects!
