About Us

Overview

OKAVANGO is a daycare home offering preschool and after school programs for children ages 12 months old and up. This bilingual Russian/English program was opened in 2011. Our goal is to produce happy, intelligent, well-adjusted children and to offer the best possible care for children so that parents and their children will both enjoy the experience of early education. We speak both languages here Russian and English as well as our kids.

We offer a low student-to-teacher ratio for the most effective learning environment, ensuring that your child is given every opportunity to succeed. Students receive individual attention on a one-to-one basis and also benefit from group interactions in which they can build confidence in a larger social environment. Our student-teacher ratio is 1:6. For best results we divide children into small groups for classes.
