Curriculum

Our curriculum uses a thematic unit format to introduce children to a variety of topics. We use both a whole language and phonetic approach to literacy. Author studies provide an interesting and fun way for children to learn different types of literature or poetry. Our classes explore the artistic styles of famous artists such as Picasso or Monet and then create their own works of art. Science is introduced through hands on experimentation. We then teach children how to chart and document their findings. Math is an integral part of the learning experience and is introduced and woven into daily activities. Foreign languages are also introduced in our curriculum.


Classrooms are arranged into learning centers such as Housekeeping, Blocks, Computer, Writing Center,Science, Math and many more so that children can explore and use their imaginations throughout their free play or “Center Time”.


Music and Gym: are a welcome addition to your child’s day. During Music class, children will sing, dance and explore rhythms through different types of music and instruments. Gym will include all types of floor games, parachute play, relay races and all types of activities which help children to develop their gross motor skills. A visit to our outdoor playground is always a welcome activity for our children as well!


Special Events : Each month brings a new special event to our schools. Green Eggs and Ham Day, The Fairy Tale Ball or Crazy Hat Day are just some of the fun events that occur regularly in our classrooms. These events are tied to a thematic unit that we are working on in our curriculum and provide a fun and exciting day for students and staff!


Support Services: There are times when children may have difficulty in certain areas or may show developmental delays. It is our job as early educators to recognize if a child is having a problem and offer support and guidance to our families. We work closely with our school districts in helping parents to obtain the necessary evaluations and services their children may require. It is important to us that each child in our care is given every opportunity to succeed.


Programs: Each of our childcare centers offers a variety of programs for both the school year and the summer session. Our hours are designed to accommodate the working parent and are flexible so that they may be customized to meet an individual families needs. If there is something that you need and do not see it please ask, we may be able to create a unique schedule just for you. For many of our families this is their first school experience for their child. It is our goal to make that experience an exceptional!


Snacks and Meals: Healthy snacks are provided during both the A.M. and P.M. sessions. Children who attend our programs for full day bring their own lunch from home. Our staff will gladly heat up any lunch items you send in with your child.
