Exploratory, Emergent Learning
Our experienced teachers flow with the interests of your child, and organically lead them towards the next step in their learning. This allows your child to explore their interests fully in both self-led and teacher-led activities.
The Creative Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum is an innovate and effective curriculum that actively engages your child, supporting the differences in learning styles, maturity, and interests. Our teachers plan exciting and educational activities that encourage children to grow in all developmental areas.
A Structured Schedule with Lots of Play
The daily schedule provides ample structured time, where they are engaged in educational activities, as well as time for your child to choose their own desired activities like art, manipulative and dramatic play while having fun.
Building Confidence and Independence Through Play
Daily self-directed play opportunities give children one or two options of where they want to be in the classroom. This develops their decision-making skills and sound judgment skills. Some examples of fun, self-directed play opportunities are:
- Playing dress-up with a great selection of clothes
- Pretend cooking in the little kitchen with pots and pans
- Playing race car driver, or “family” with dolls
Creative Arts, Painting, and Music in the Classroom
With your child’s limitless ideas come endless possibilities for creative arts in the classroom. Children lead their own creative process, with their teacher’s guidance, and develop their own ideas. Music is played in the classroom a few times a week, lending to the creative environment.
A Designated Quiet Space in Every Classroom
This quiet space, with soft, oversized pillows, let’s your child regain their calm and composure when they are feeling overwhelmed. Each classroom has a designated area for your child to use when they need some quiet time and be away from everyone.
Rooms Arranged Into Educational Centers
Each of our preschool rooms is arranged into educational centers to engage children in the learning process actively. Children can explore the many centers throughout the day, which include:
- Block and building
- Arts and crafts
- Pre-reading and Literacy
- Math and Science
- Manipulatives
- Sensory Play
- Home living
- Writing center
Learning Math Through Measuring and More
Making lessons more hands-on has a lasting impact on your child’s foundational understanding of math. An example of math exploration is using a tape measure to measure the height of people, and the length, width, depth, and height of things too.
A Writing Station Fully Stocked with Paper and Pencils
Our writing station is a little desk that your child can use to practice writing daily. This desk is stocked with paper and pencils, and all the things your child needs to sit down to start learning to write their letters and numbers.
Home Living in Our Little Kitchen
Your child can roll play and model home life in our little kitchen center. Such dramatic play is highly expressive, allows your child to interact with others, and helps them to understand themselves and their role in the family, in the classroom and the world at large.
Manipulative Play with Magnets and More
Our manipulatives center has square and triangular magnets that your child can put together to build shapes, practice their counting, and to increase their fine motor skills. Sorting colored beads with tongs is another example of manipulative play that helps develop smaller movements and muscles needed for grasping.
Dancing, Singing and Circle Time Every Morning
During circle time, your child learns to sit and enjoy this classic morning routine. We cover the days of the week, the monthly and yearly calendar, and the days of the week. Dancing and singing make this a much-anticipated part of your child’s day.
Learning Through Games Like “The Days of the Week” Game
“The Day of the Week” game is an example of creative curriculum learning. By asking children specific questions, like what day it is, they can take turns answering and speaking in front of the group, while being wholly engaged in this learning activity. We sing the days of the week and take turns pointing to each day in this game.
Large Group, Small Group, and Individualized Instruction
Teacher-guided activities are done in large groups, small groups, and are individualized to meet your child’s specific needs. This offers a wide variety of learning experiences that shape your child’s understanding of different subjects, like Math, Science, and Art, while learning to cooperate and to work well with others.
