Child-Centered Curriculum

At the heart of our educational philosophy is a child-centered curriculum designed to nurture the physical, social, and emotional growth of each child. We believe in honoring children's interests and encouraging their natural explorations of the world around them. Our classrooms are thoughtfully crafted into vibrant, engaging environments that invite curiosity and discovery. Each area is a reflection of the unique personalities, interests, and talents of its young occupants, fostering a profound sense of ownership and responsibility that empowers children to take charge of their learning journeys.

Play-Based Learning

We focus on play-based learning as a fundamental approach to education. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum emphasizes the joy and richness of learning through play and meaningful, hands-on activities. Children engage in dynamic classroom routines and enriching experiences such as cooking, gardening, and painting, all of which promote creativity and critical thinking.

Math, science, and social studies come alive through engaging activities like block building, outdoor explorations, and imaginative play. Through artistic expression, collaboration, and exploration, children develop a deep understanding of the world while honing essential skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Emotionally Supportive Environment

We are committed to creating an emotionally supportive environment that provides a safe haven where children can feel truly secure to explore, experiment, and express their ideas and emotions freely. Our nurturing atmosphere encourages children to build confidence, resilience, and interpersonal skills, fostering healthy relationships with peers and adults alike.

Parent Communication

We recognize the essential role parents play in their children's education, and we prioritize open and ongoing communication. Our commitment to engaging with families ensures that we establish meaningful partnerships that align with each child's unique needs. We provide updates and ample opportunities for feedback, fostering a collaborative atmosphere that nurtures a child's development both at home and in our care.

Qualified Staff

Our team comprises highly trained and dedicated educators who are passionate about early childhood education. They provide a strong academic foundation while also nurturing the emotional and social development of each child. Our teachers are committed to creating rich learning experiences that support growth, inspire curiosity, and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.

Science

Children participate in hands-on science activities that introduce them to basic scientific concepts and the scientific method. They observe, compare, sort, hypothesize, test ideas, and share discoveries, often focusing on water, light, magnets, simple machines, plant life, and insects. Some exciting projects include watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, ladybugs emerge from larvae, tadpoles become frogs.

Music

Our dedicated music teachers visit every classroom weekly, bringing instruments such as guitars, conga drums, and more. They teach songs and rhythms that quickly become a beloved part of the children’s daily routine. Our talented teachers are passionate about inspiring a love of music and encouraging expressive musical play.

Language Development: Spanish with Angelica

At our preschool, we gently introduce children to new languages through engaging activities led by Angelica. The early introduction to multiple languages benefits children by enhancing their cognitive and social development, improving communication skills, and fostering an appreciation for different cultures. This exposure helps create a foundation for bilingualism, which offers long-term advantages in learning and social adaptability.

Visual Art

At our preschool, children explore a variety of artistic media and techniques through open-ended activities where the focus is on the process, not just the finished product. Our curriculum includes painting, drawing, collage-making, and three-dimensional construction. We believe in the power of art as a way for children to express their feelings, tell stories, assert their individuality, and communicate with peers. We partner up with Privet Picassos for our art classes.

Creative Movement

We offer a range of movement classes designed to develop strength, flexibility, and self-control, while also providing outlets for creative self-expression. Through partnerships with different music teachers children enjoy expressive dance classes. We also provide yoga classes led by local instructors, supporting physical growth and body awareness.
