Our curriculum provides a wide range of learning opportunities and includes elements of Themes, Creative Curriculum, Reggio Emilio, and Emergent philosophies. Because each child has a unique approach to learning, our comprehensive curriculum provides the right mix of challenge, support, sensitivity and stimulation to promote and enhance their learning and allows children to grow and learn at their own pace.
Our day is balanced with play and hands-on learning experiences which allow children to explore their interests as well as learn new concepts included across curriculum areas (i.e. music, art, dramatic play, storytelling, sensory, games, books, science, dance/movement) which brings learning to life. By engaging in all sorts of experiences that allow for exploring, discovering, and practicing skills in a safe and supportive space, children develop competence in the following areas:
- social: collaborate, share, take turns
- emotional: manage feelings and behaviors, recognize and talk about emotions in self and others
- cognitive: solve problems, make connections and decisions
- language: comprehension, expand expressive vocabulary, conversational and communication skills
- literacy: vocabulary, phonological awareness, letter/word recognition, emergent writing
- math: number concepts, shapes, measurement, patterns, classification
- physical: small and large motor strength and coordination
- the arts: music, dance & movement, visual arts, drama
- science: scientific inquiry, predictions, knowledge of living things, objects and materials
- social studies: learn about self, how people live, geography.
