Curriculum

We utilize both The Creative Curriculum, designed to meet the needs of families and children, and Teaching Strategies GOLD, a research-based assessment tool to provide higher quality, individual lesson plans.

Curriculum Goals

  • Children will achieve a positive sense of self and become confident, curious, independent learners.
  • Children will engage in productive play and learning experiences that promote individual development in the following domains: social/emotional, cognitive, physical, and language.
  • Children will treat others with respect and will develop caring human connections within their community.
  • Children will demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of the natural environment.
  • Children will develop social compentence.

For All Ages

In each age group, all lead teachers are responsible for preparing weekly lesson plans based on age-appropriate learning activities. These plans are posted on the parent information board in each classroom for parent's review. The activities are planned to enhance and encourage the children's developmental areas of

  • language,
  • cognitive,
  • fine motor,
  • gross motor,
  • self-help, and
  • social-emotional skills.

Please ask your child's lead teacher if you have any questions about the plans. Teachers welcome parent input in planning activities for children.
