Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the latest research concerning developmentally appropriate practices in childhood education. We believe in providing a quality learning environment that is child-centered, and our goal is to prepare each child for future success in school. Our curriculum includes:

Teacher-child relationships, where our teachers interact with our children in meaningful ways, encouraging them to try new things, demonstrating respect for their efforts, and praising their achievements.
Social-Emotional skills, where we teach respect, turn-taking, and sharing, as well as working cooperatively in both large and small group situations. We also teach children how to deal with their own emotions and relate and show empathy for others.
Constructive, purposeful play, where children learn through creative, open-ended activities in the interest areas of blocks, dramatic play, art, and outside play.
Language and Literacy, where children become comfortable with the alphabet, both in writing and identifying.
