Philosophy & Curriculum
Philosophy Top of Page
We believe that through the blending of guided exploration and structured learning activities, our play-based program fosters learning and the development of the whole child: physical, social, emotional and cognitive.
We embrace diversity of all kinds and acknowledge and respect the uniqueness of each child’s learning style, personality, and developmental pace.
Curriculum Top of Page
We utilize a theme-based model that integrates literacy, science, math, music, art, social/emotional development, social studies, creative expression and problem solving skills all around a specific topic. Our curriculum is designed to focus on self-reliance, cooperative play, self-regulation, social/emotional skills, early academic skills, and fine & gross motor development.
Through careful observation of the interactions between children, adults and materials, our staff adapts and adds to the curriculum, supporting learning differences/needs and the children's interests, ideas, questions and expressions. Each program offers open-ended, developmentally appropriate activities - both child-initiated and teacher-directed.
