About our founder

In 2005, Mrs. Gadi Soriano began working with children in Utah when she started a child care business at her home with three children to babysit. As the number of children under her care grew, she wanted to prepare them for elementary school so, she decided to begin and prepare herself to give them preschool classes at home. She took classes to obtain her CDA credentials in 2008, and obtained over two dozen certifications and courses at the Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

In 2012 Mrs. Gadi opened the doors of ABC City preschool at our current location with the idea of offering a bilingual program, but separating each language (Spanish and English) into different schedules. This was to obtain the maximum benefit of studying and practice from the learning program she developed based in the Waldorf educational philosophy which uses direct experience, storytelling, and experimentation to teach subjects. Waldorf education uses a thematic approach, where students immerse themselves in a main lesson and explore it through a variety of activities.

She noticed that, while a bilingual program can help a child to develop his/hers vocal and mental capacities during their early years, a full immersion in a language can increase these mental capacities even more, and helps the child to understand more complex subjects, such as math and science.
