About Us
At Children of the World, we proudly serve our community by offering a nurturing bilingual preschool experience that supports both early learning and cultural identity. We believe that every child deserves a strong foundation — not only in language and academics, but also in values, belonging, and confidence in who they are.
We are not scholars, but passionate educators dedicated to helping children grow through play, exploration, and a love of learning. Our program gently weaves cultural and age-appropriate religious elements into the daily routine, helping children feel rooted in their heritage while developing the social and academic skills they need to thrive.
Our classrooms are warm, inclusive, and engaging — where English and Arabic are spoken naturally and where children are celebrated for who they are. We are here to support families seeking a balance between quality education and cultural continuity.
Our History
Who We Are
In 2008, Hakima Elamiri envisioned a school where children could grow in both faith and global awareness — a bilingual environment that nurtures Islamic values alongside a strong sense of American citizenship. Today, that vision has come to life through Children of the World Learning Center, a thriving and diverse community representing over 30 countries.
In addition to the vision of our founder, great care goes into selecting the teachers who join our daycare family. Many of our teachers are mothers themselves — they understand children, nurture them with love, and approach their work with deep passion and patience.
Our team is dedicated, well-educated, and compassionate, committed to creating a warm, supportive environment where every child can thrive. We celebrate each milestone — a child’s first steps, first words, and first moments of independence. We strive to ensure that every child eats well, sleeps well, and grows strong and confident, both physically and emotionally.

The Benefits of a Bilingual Education
Early childhood is the best time to introduce multiple languages — not just for communication, but for building cognitive, social, and cultural strengths that last a lifetime. At Children of the World Learning Center, our bilingual program nurtures these benefits from the very start.
- Cognitive Development
- Bilingual children show greater mental flexibility, better problem-solving skills, and improved memory.
- Early exposure to two languages strengthens brain development and executive function.
- Language Mastery
- Young children naturally absorb language through play and interaction.
- Learning two languages at once enhances vocabulary and literacy in both.
- Cultural Awareness
- Children develop empathy and respect for others by understanding different cultures and traditions.
- A bilingual classroom fosters curiosity and openness to diversity.
- Academic Readiness
- Bilingual learners often perform better in reading, math, and standardized testing.
- Early language skills boost overall school readiness and communication abilities.
- Confidence & Identity
- Children build pride in their heritage while also engaging with the world around them.
- Speaking more than one language empowers children socially and emotionally.
