The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. Our goal is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We are teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but all through their lives. We're
allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We are giving the children good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives.
We use a fun literacy approach with our curriculum. Creative Curriculum is the base curriculum structure that we use supplemented by several other curriculums such as
Social: to help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel they are a part of the group.
Emotional: to help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude toward life.
Cognitive: to help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings.
Physical: to help children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do.
The activities we plan for children, the way we organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give your child a successful start in school.
Assessments of infants & young children's development should be done on a regular and periodic basis because of the rapid behavior changes that occur in the early years (American Academy of Peds., 2001). For this reason, we use the ASQ-3 screening system (ages 1 month-5 1/2 years old) & Preschool Progress Reports (Hayes School Publishing Co., Inc.) for age 2-5 years old.
Although our infants are not subject to a daily curriculum, we do follow developmental guidelines for normal development. If ever a time you/we feel these needs are not being met, you/we may suggest additional early intervention services.
Our focus is on the WHOLE child and we will provide information to caregivers that describe age-appropriate, early-childhood practices. Every child needs positive, consistent, developmentally-appropriate experiences to maximize brain development. Because of that, we are here to provide you with that critical, nurturing care.
