SolBe Learning
Now Enrolling Infants, Toddlers, Preschool & Pre-K!
The first five years of your child’s development are the most influential.
Return on investment is highest for programs that target the earliest years because in these years the foundation for lifelong character is largely set—attributes like grit, flexibility, creativity, empathy, and a growth mindset. Research links these attributes to successful outcomes throughout life.

AN ECOSYSTEM FOR EARLY LEARNING
Our learning ecosystem is an inventive, adaptable environment that supports continual improvement.
We’ve seen what happens when programs, often with wonderful intentions, focus on one aspect of a child’s development—without attending to the many factors that influence the learning environment, without attending to the whole.
At SolBe, we are mindful of how people, spaces, programs, and wellness interact to create a truly exceptional experience—an early learning ecosystem that creates everyday learning opportunities for all.
AN ECOSYSTEM FOR EARLY LEARNING
Our learning ecosystem is an inventive, adaptable environment that supports continual improvement.
Our standards are high. We take an agile, cross-disciplinary approach. We question assumptions. We take different perspectives. We include. We hypothesize. We try new things. We observe. We communicate. We listen. We learn. We play. We grow. We care.
Redrawing “the classroom”
Children and educators can only do so much in a traditional, four-walled classroom. At SolBe, classrooms comprise two distinct spaces—a Dwelling and a Yard. The inspiring and purposeful design of these spaces enhance the mutually benefitial relationship between your child’s, and our educators’, positive experience of daily routines and educational pursuits. Our design deeply integrates people and programs within the space to support both development and wellbeing.
FLEXIBLE, SPECIALIZED SPACES
Dwellings are cozy, homelike spaces for quiet and focused activities. In contrast, the Yards provide the perfect space to make a mess, burn energy, or explore more active learning opportunity. Further, after school and during weekends, the Yards accommodate additional family programs that invite everyone back to SolBe to share fun experiences and extend family learning. These programs link home and school in a supportive loop.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Like a small village, students and their caregivers enjoy an openness and connectedness to a world beyond the comfort of their Dwelling. When they step into their Yard, which is full of natural light, it becomes clear that they are contributing members to a vibrant community.
Traditional Early Learning
Classrooms, accessed via corridors, encapsulate the day-to-day experience. Gross motor is scheduled for sharing between classrooms at defined times. The classroom must accommodate all types of learning activities.
The SolBe Experience
The SolBe classroom is broken into home-like Dwellings and outdoor-like Yard spaces within the learning center to intelligently support both focused and expansive learning activities, and to create an engaging environment for year-round play.
Seed-To-Table Nutrition & Wellness
We know what it’s like to forget to feed ourselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SolBe, we understand it’s impossible for you to pour from an empty cup. And we do what we can to keep your cup full.Our learning ecosystem is designed with children and educators—and you—in mind. Seed-to-table nutrition program. Yoga and mindfulness. An all-inclusive experience so you don’t need to worry about finding time to provide meals, diapers, or wipes (unless you want to). Evening and weekend family programs. {replace the below slider with image grid of food and nutrition}
At SolBe, we understand that nurturing a child’s growth goes beyond just providing meals. It’s about cultivating a deep connection to the food they eat, from seed to table, and recognizing how every element of their environment contributes to their overall well-being.
Intercultural Programs
Research clearly and increasingly supports the long-lasting benefits of learning a second language. Increased concentration. More efficient task-switching. Denser gray matter.
We’re driven to create the most nurturing, positive, and holistic experience possible for your child. We provide seed-to-table nutrition, thoughtfully designed facilities, professional staff, and an intercultural program. That’s where our collaboration starts.
INAFANT (6wks to 12mos)
TODDLER (12mos to 33mos)
OLDER TODDLER (24mos to 36mos)
PRESCHOOL (35mos to 5yrs)
At SolBe, we’re exposed to bilingual learning—our educators communicate with students, and with each other, in Spanish. Our books are in Spanish as well as English. And we have fun with it. Una parte de la diferencia aquí.
Vibrant Educators, Expertly Trained in Child Care and Development
From our perspective, all businesses are people businesses, and our educators are the heart of the SolBe Learning Ecosystem. We invest in the well-being and development of all our people—educators, support staff, and administrators alike.
Our educators are especially trained for this work through the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) and translate their passion and expertise, along with the children’s curiosities, into emergent, Reggio Emilia-inspired learning experiences.
Rethink Early Learning
SolBe [sohl-be] is an early learning center that reimagines traditional notions of preschool. We aim to create the highest quality early learning experiences. Our dynamic program continually adapts and improves as we nurture healthy, engaged lives.
A commitment to learning in all its forms. An emphasis on play. A supportive partner and knowledgeable resource for bustling parents. A community of vibrant, engaged families. A place where children and adults alike want to spend time.
Jennifer G.I have been so impressed by SolBe Learning Center’s holistic approach as a professional with over 25 years supporting families with young children. The center is truly a beautiful and creative space. There is a genuine focus on supporting both the development of the little ones in addition to the entire family. The center invests in parenting education for families enrolled in the center in addition to inviting the outside community. Impressive!
