Creative Curriculum

Our program is based on the principles of the Creative Curriculum for ages 0-36 months. This is a research-based program that encourages children to become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. Lessons focus on these areas of development:

Social

Feeling comfortable in school, trusting their new environment, making friends, and feeling a part of the group.

Emotional

Experiencing pride and self-confidence, developing independence and self-control, and having a positive attitude toward life.

Cognitive

Becoming confident learners by trying out their own ideas, solving problems & asking questions, and describing their observations and feelings.

Physical

Increasing their gross and fine motor skills and feeling confident about what their bodies are able to do.

Our activities, the organization of our environments, and how we talk with children are designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum. We give the children in our care a successful start, teaching them to learn throughout their lives.

Key Features of Our Creative Curriculum Approach:

  1. Child-Centered Learning: We follow each child's interests and learning style, allowing for personalized educational experiences.

  2. Play-Based Exploration: Our carefully designed learning centers encourage discovery, imagination, and hands-on learning.

  3. Integrated Learning: Subjects are woven together naturally, reflecting real-life experiences and promoting holistic understanding.

  4. Ongoing Assessment: We regularly observe and document each child's progress, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive.
