Early Childhood Education Classes in Minneapolis

Empowering Children Through Early Learning

At Hooyo Child Care Center, our early childhood classes are designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning. Tailored for children ages 0 to 5, these development-focused sessions help children strengthen foundational skills in a safe, bilingual, and nurturing environment.



We incorporate best practices in early childhood education while honoring the cultural and linguistic diversity of our Minneapolis community.

Class Structure and Learning Objectives

Our early childhood classes follow a structured yet playful approach that supports whole-child development. Each session includes:


  • Language and literacy activities
  • Math and problem-solving games
  • Music and movement
  • Art and sensory exploration
  • Emotional and social learning through group play

We integrate English and Spanish instruction throughout the curriculum, allowing children to develop early bilingual skills in a natural and engaging way.

Age-Appropriate Groupings and Goals

We organize classes by developmental stages to better meet the needs of each child:


  • Infant and Toddler (6 weeks – 3 years)
    Focused on sensory stimulation, early communication, and movement.

  • Preschool Prep (3 – 5 years)
    Emphasis on school readiness, pre-literacy, early math, social interaction, and independence.

Each child progresses at their own pace with personalized support from trained educators.
