Curriculum Goals

Most experts will agree that children, especially young children, learn better through play than through highly structured academic activities. We embrace this concept and provide a wide range of hands-on activities. We encourage children to experiment with science, math, manipulatives, language, literacy, music & movement, art, dramatic play, sensory and water activities, games, and gross motor play, which are available during class time.

Our classes contain three basic educational components, each of which are designed to aid in specific developmental areas. During each class, the children will have the opportunity to participate in free-choice activities, small group encounters, and teacher-directed experiences. Free choice activities allow for personal interests and self-expression. Small group encounters are intended to develop listening skills and the ability to follow directions, as well as allow practice being part of a large group. 

Experiences are provided that meet each child's needs and stimulate learning in all developmental areas, including physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Every child is viewed as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth and development. Different levels of ability, development and learning styles are expected, accepted, and used to design appropriate activities.

Interactions and activities are designed to develop children's self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning.
