Our Curriculum Is…

• Fun and educational. Children are encouraged to learn about the world around them through a balance of play, exploration, and guided activities.
• Child-initiated. Activities and materials are chosen based on children's interests and designed to foster independence, cooperation, and self-esteem. For schoolagers, activities also follow the public school curriculum to enhance learning.
• Language and literacy based. Age appropriate language and pre-reading or reading activities are staples of everyday learning.
• Developmentally appropriate. Our curriculum complies with developmentally appropriate practices and the nationally recognized standards for early childhood education endorsed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Afterschool Association (NAA).
